Here are just a few tips: </para> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para> Use the <option>channels</option> option. An example: <screen>-radio channels=104.4-Sibir,103.9-Maximum</screen> Explanation: using this option, only the 104.4 and 103.9 radio stations will be usable, and there will be a nice OSD text upon channel switching, displaying the channel's name. Spaces in the channel name must be replaced by the "_" character. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> There are several ways of capturing audio. You can grab the sound either using your sound card via an external cable connection between video card and line-in, or using the built-in ADC in the saa7134 chip. In the latter case, you have to load the <emphasis role="bold">saa7134-alsa</emphasis> or <emphasis role="bold">saa7134-oss</emphasis> driver. </para> </listitem> <listitem> <para> <application>MEncoder</application> cannot be used for audio capture, because it requires video stream to work. So your can either use arecord from ALSA project or use <option>-ao pcm:file=file.wav</option>. In second case you will not hear any sound (except you using line-in cable and have switched line-in mute off) </para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> </sect2> <sect2 id="radio-examples"> <title>Examples</title> <informalexample> <para> Input from standard V4L (using line-in cable. capture switched off): <screen> mplayer radio://104.4<!-- --></screen> </para> </informalexample> <informalexample> <para> Input from standard V4L (using line-in cable. capture switched off, V4Lv1 interface): <screen> mplayer -radio driver=v4l radio://104.4<!-- --></screen> </para> </informalexample> <informalexample> <para> Playing second channel from channel list: <screen> mplayer -radio channels=104.4=Sibir,103.9=Maximm radio://2<!-- --></screen> </para> </informalexample> <informalexample> <para> Using sound through pci bus from radio card's internal ADC. In this example tuner used as second sound card (ALSA device hw:1,0). For saa7134 based cards either saa7134-alsa or saa7134-oss module must be loaded . NOTE: when using ALSA device names colons must be replaced with equals, commas with dots. <screen> mplayer -rawaudio rate=32000 -radio adevice=hw=1.0:arate=32000:channels=104.4=Sibir,103.9=Maximm radio://2/capture<!-- --></screen> </para> </informalexample> </sect2> </sect1> </chapter>
