I’m trying the streaming on my network with vlc. On server ( Linux Ubuntu 2.6.10-5-386) I’ve one card Pinnacle Pctv Studio Pro. My dmesg show this output:

bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:00:0d.0, irq: 11, latency: 32, mmio: 0xfb000000

bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok

The card is attached to decoder by rf cable.
The script for streaming is

vlc -vvv v4l:/dev/video0:norm=pal:channel=0:size=320x240:adev=/dev/dsp1:audio=0 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=192}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,url=:8080}'

The problem is that on my client I’ve video but no sound. I’ve attach speaker to the card and sound is ok.
I’ve try to use dsp ( sound onboard device on server linux) instead of dsp1 and in the stream I’ve sound but no video.
Where is the problem? On the module bttv?

Thanks

Try to run any tv-viewing software (tvtime) after starting the vlc' translation

And select the appropriate sound source in your mixer

On mixer I've two sound device only: Cmedia Sys Si7012 with many switches and Capture Brooktree BT878 with only one switch (I can select Tv Tuner, FM and Mic/Line). When I start tvtime, video and sound are ok; I hear the sound from speaker connected to the audio out of PCTV. ( However I don't have any switches to control volume for this card). If I start vlc transcode only, I've not sound from the speaker. If I start vlc transcode and after that I start tvtime, I can hear the sound, however in the stream on the client I've video only, no sound.
I don't understand....
Why I've only one control for PCTV?

If your short sound-cord from tuner is connected to the Line In on your soundcard:
amixer -c 0 set Line 40% unmute cap
