The VideoLAN Forums

I want to stream live audio. I have Ubuntu 17.04, and ALSA installed. When I run VLC 2.2.6 I goto media - stream - capture device. It shows video device name and audio device name. I select hw:0,0 and leave the video device name blank, and video standard undefined. I then select stream and it shows 'v4l2://' as the Source. I click next and type in a udp multicast address and port. I turn off trancoding and click next. I get this error:
[00007f1d040043c8] core mux error: cannot add this stream
[00007f1cfc01f3b8] core decoder error: cannot create packetizer output (YUY2)

It looks like VLC is trying to stream video along with audio. I just want to stream live audio and nothing more. Any help is appreciated.

You can't capture audio only from the old open dialog. Right click on the audio device list in the playlist, or use the CLI.
