It must support PAL and and should handle stereo sound. There seam to be different ways how the audio data gets into the PC. Most cards use a cable to the sound card. But that blocks the only line in input. Now I read that some cards send the audio data via the PCI bus to the bktr driver. That sound much more elegant. But which cards work thar way? And how does FreeBSD the that data. Does a second mixer appear? Thank you. -- Frank
