Maybe I'm wrong but for the microphone I tried the osso-dsp-plugin-alsa package after reading this http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/al...c/README-maemo

As mentionned :

"ALSA native applications can run over DSP Gateway and use DSP PCM task nodes"

I tried this :

cvlc

Code:

v4l2:///dev/video0:chroma="UYVY":width=320:height=240:adev=default

But vlc crash with a dbus error when opening audio device :

Code:

[00000645] v4l2 demux debug: added new video es UYVY 320x240
[00000644] main input debug: selecting program id=0
[00000645] v4l2 demux debug: opening 'default' as audio
process 1742: Applications must not close shared connections - see dbus_connection_close() docs. This is a bug in the application.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Aborted

I don't know if it's a vlc or an alsa issue but to be sure that this plugin works I built and tried the aplay/arecord commands and I can heard my voice with :

Code:

arecord -Ddefault --format=S16_LE foo.wav
aplay -Ddefault foo.wav

But I noted that sometimes the arecord command fails also with a dbus error.

Maybe some dbus guru could help.

Here's an interesting update to the audio problem. I read this in another thread:

So I tried to get VLC to ask more "nicely":

Code:

cvlc v4l2:///dev/video0:chroma="UYVY":width=320:height=240:adev=default:audio-method=2:samplerate=8000

There are absolutely no errors (even using -vvv), VLC runs fine, it thinks it's got audio coming in, I can wave at myself on the screen... but no audio comes out. When I try streaming and then use mplayer http://localhost:7070 in another terminal, mplayer says there's no audio being streamed.

By the way, I've installed the full VLC package. It's annoying not having video out.

EDIT: I wonder if we need to ask even more nicely. How do we get VLC to use the S16_LE audio format?

I will check the audio format in the vlc code

hi,there:

Now, can't download the file from "http://www.filecrunch.com/file/~euhmyn".

Could you upload it again?

Thx

So, qwerty12, I've tried out your kernel. I've had lots of fun with the rotation, and it seems to me that my tablet boots a bit faster with the high speed SD, but I could be imagining it.

The "EIO not returned in VIDIOC_DQBUF" patch certainly stops the errors, but I'm not sure it is a good solution. A/V sync in Videocamera (look in the Garage) and with a standard GStreamer pipeline is pretty dismal; I think it has actually gotten worse with this patch. I don't know what a better solution would be here, though... I'll keep playing around; I still think there's hope.

As for the V4L1 patch: how do I use it? There's no v4l1 device created (usually /dev/video) and /dev/video0 is not recognized as a v4l device by VLC 0.8.6...

Sigh. Thanks for the kernel anyway!

Hmm, thanks for the report, I'll have to boot into a kernel with that patch removed and see if it's slower too :/

No idea, sorry, V4l1 is enabled, I think it's up to the driver which V4l it reports itself as.

BTW: If you do end up flashing another kernel to remove the "EIO not returned in VIDIOC_DQBUF" patch, I recommend flashing fanoush's rotation kernel. That has the fixed rotation and the SD high speed without any extreme stuff like my kernel.

Just a question; if I do an on-tablet flash of my kernel from a SD partition cloned system, does that flash the kernel on all the partitions, or just the partition that was running at the time of the flash?

I'm 95% sure it's on all the partitions (kernel has fixed partition on /dev/mtd2 iirc) , you can verify next time you boot into the flash by running uname -a.

My kernels say BST, fanoush's say CEST and Nokia ones say EEST.

The S16_LE audio format is hard coded in vlc so no problem with it

But looking at the code I found that the audio-method command is broken in vlc-git, if you want to use it you have to omit the "=" character...

.

With this bug vlc doesn't even try to load the alsa stuff and that's why you don't have the dbus error.

However after some code modifications I made a little step forward.

With my test version I have no longer the dbus error but still no sound (error in the alsa dsp plugin at the start of transcoding)...
