<Audio in device> option required for Timeleak HD Capture card

[CH7]

Hi. I am running the latest VLC 2.2.8 for windows. I am trying to use it with a budget PCI HDMI capture card. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pcie-HDMI-720p ... 2614723640

The VLC decodes the video but there are no audio options. The audio is encoded WITH the video capture stream. Programs like Honestech HD DVR 2.5 has a <audio in Device> option to get around this, whilst the Stereoscopic Player seem to expect audio on live capture devices.

[The Honestech program only works on a 32 bit platform. The Steroscopic Player has time expired.]

I have checked Device Manager and the Timeleak is only referred to as a capture device, eg, it has no dedicated audio device.

Is there a chance <audio in Device> could be added as an audio source option for the next release of VLC? Failing that, could the same capture device be listed again in the audio source list?

[Also the default video playback is still 4:3 ??? this has to be set manually in Advanced Options to the more common aspect ratio 16:9]
