command line for dshow device with a slash in its name

[pkv]

Hello,

I have a directshow device with a slash in its name. I typed :
vlc dshow:// :dshow-adev="4-1010 7/8ch"

Of course I can't manage to open it on the command line of windows xp.
How should I do it?
On the GUI the device appears as:
4-1010 7/8ch
(same name given by dxdiag).
Thanks

[pkv]

Added note:

commenting out by using quotes '/' doesn't work, nor do double slashes or double backslashes // \\ nor: &/&
the sound card is an ESI ESP1010 .

solved.
My problem aroused only with the nightly build.
No such problem on the command line with the stable release 0.8.6h
I guess I should make a bug report. Anybody knows hows?

Should it not be like the above instead?

Code: Select all

vlc dshow:// "--dshow-adev=4-1010 7/8ch"

Note the quotes position.
