(A GUS for quality, |a a SB16 for compatibility. :) ) I have used the gus line input |for SB audio mixing, and put the bktr output into the SB line input. |Now, how do I tell fxtv which mixer to use ? Assuming /dev/mixer |as default is not bad, but is too limiting. Ok. So do you have: TV Card -> SB Card -> GUS Card -> Audio out I can make the mixer and dsp devices used by Fxtv configurable via rsrc. Just one mixer and one dsp though :-) Consider it on the my list. (I'll get back to working on fxtv some day.) | Also, if I wanted to |use the internal CD audio cable instead of the external and noisy |line cable to get WinTV sounds into my sound card ? Yeah, Luigi's made this request as well and it's on my list. However, with cascading sound cards like you are, I don't think quality difference between external and internal will make any real difference. (The Line In on my SB32 is very low-noise BTW.) |line cable to get WinTV sounds into my sound card ? And if I |had two bktr devices ? Would it work ? No, I'm not kidding. |I'm planning a box with two or three bktr devices. :) | | I don't have the fxtv 0.46 sources handy, but the 0.45 had these |all hardcoded. Would Randall add the code to make those selectable |as Xresources ? :) | | BTW: Would the bktr driver work if I had two or more cards inside ? Others have run with this combo before. As Amancio mentioned, the driver supports it. To switch between them in Fxtv, use the deviceNumber X resource or the -deviceNumber command-line option to specify which bktr device to talk to.
