|
|
22 --enable-radio and (if you want capture support) --enable-radio-capture.

40 Use the <option>channels</option> option. An example:
|
|
41 <screen>-radio channels=104.4-Sibir,103.9-Maximum</screen>
|
|
42 Explanation: using this option, only the 104.4 and 103.9 radio stations
|
|
43 will be usable, and there will be a nice OSD text upon channel switching, displaying the
|
|
44 channel's name. Spaces in the channel name must be replaced by the
|
|
45 "_" character.

51 There are several ways of capturing audio. You can grab the sound either using
|
|
52 your sound card via an external cable connection between video card and line-in,
|
|
53 or using the built-in ADC in the saa7134 chip. In the latter case, you have to
|
|
54 load the <emphasis role="bold">saa7134-alsa</emphasis> or
|
|
55 <emphasis role="bold">saa7134-oss</emphasis> driver.

|
|
61 <application>MEncoder</application> cannot be used for audio capture, because it
|
|
62 requires video stream to work. So your can either use arecord from ALSA project or
|
|
63 use <option>-ao pcm:file=file.wav</option>. In second case you will not hear any sound
|
|
64 (except you using line-in cable and have switched line-in mute off)

106 loaded . NOTE: when using ALSA device names colons must be replaced with equals, commas with dots.
