Hi Gang: I just picked up a Stealth 3D 2000 clone video card that will hopefuly work with WinCast/TV, and I am about to order my WinCast from iQVC. The only question I have is, to what extent does FreeBSD 2.2.1 and 3.0-current support listening to the radio with WinCast/TV Stereo Sound with FM Radio Sound? Being a graduate student, I am naturaly quite the cheap-skate, but seeing that I graduate soon and have a job lined up, and am still using this horrible sounding Grundig radio made in the 70's, I am wondering wether it would be worth it to spend the extra $20 for the FM radio receiver feature. Is there a program like fxtv that I could use to listen to FM radio with this card? Along the same lines, just wondering.. Does FreeBSD/fxtv actualy properly suport stereo and dbx decoding or would I be wasting my money if I bought a card that included this feature? Last question.. Coming out of the wincast TV I gather is line level audio. How weak is it?? I won't be getting my GUS MAX for another month. Is it strong enough that I can amplify it with my multimedia speakers/amplifier? I suppose since it's line level audio, I won't be able to plug headphones into it and get acceptable audio levels though, right? Thanks! Bernie
