[vlc] capture from microphone

[Gun Akkor]

All,

I am trying to capture/stream video from a Video4Linux compatible
capture card, and audio from an on-board microphone input using a x86
based Intel motherboard, linux OS (kernel 2.6.23-rc), and VLC version 0.8.6c

Here is the command line I use for capturing video:

vlc -vvv v4l:// :v4l-vdev="/dev/video0" :v4l-norm=1 :v4l-width=320
:v4l-height=240 :v4l-fps=15 :v4l-audio=2 --sout
'#duplicate{dst="transcode{vcodec=mp4v, vb=1024, sfilter=time,
soverlay}:std{access=udp, mux=ts, dst=192.168.200.10:1235}"}'

This works perfectly, and video is received at the destination.

For audio,

vlc -vvv v4l:// :v4l-adev="/dev/audio" :v4l-audio=2 --sout
'#duplicate{dst="transcode{acodec=mp4a, ab=192}:std{access=udp, mux=ts,
dst=192.168.200.10:1235}"}'

This works just fine, too. Audio is received at the destination.

However, when I try to do both simultaneously, I only receive audio, but
no video, i.e.

vlc -vvv v4l:// :v4l-adev="/dev/audio" :v4l-vdev="/dev/video0"
:v4l-norm=1 :v4l-width=320 :v4l-height=240 :v4l-fps=15 :v4l-audio=2
--sout '#duplicate{dst="transcode{vcodec=mp4v, vb=1024, acodec=mpga,
ab=192, sfilter=time, soverlay, channels=2, audio-sync}:std{access=udp,
mux=ts, dst=192.168.200.10:1235}"}'

Could somebody help me with this? I must be missing something,

Thanks in advance !
