Mplayer adevice option does work

[Mario Sergio Fujikawa Ferreira]

Hi,

	I am having a bit of trouble with TV capturing. My video
source device is

bktr0: Hauppauge Model 44001 C110
bktr0: Hauppauge WinCast/TV
crw-rw----  1 root  bktr   239,   0 Apr 25 07:20 /dev/bktr0

whilst my audio source device is

crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   30, 0x00010004 Apr 25 07:20 /dev/audio0.1

	The following mplayer line can capture video but no audio.

-------
$ mplayer -tv driver=bsdbt848:width=640:height=480:input=0:norm=ntsc tv://

	But as you can notice, no audio. mplayer(1) man page mentions
a adevice command line option.

adevice=<value>
  Set an audio device.  <value> should be /dev/xxx for OSS and  a
  hardware  ID  for ALSA.  See the -ao alsa documentation to find
  out how to specify the hardware ID.

However, despite good reports from mplayer mailing lists (no FreeBSD
reports), I am unable to use this option under FreeBSD. The option
should allow me to get audio from a source other than the video source.

	For example,
-------

$ mplayer -tv adevice=/dev/audio0.1:driver=bsdbt848:width=640:height=480:input=0:norm=ntsc tv://

Option tv: Unknown suboption adevice
-------

	Inquiries at irc.freenode.net#mplayer imply that this option
works fine under Linux. Any ideas why I am unable to use it? Is it
incidental to my system; i.e., does it work for everyone using FreeBSD
but me? Or, is it just that this option does not work under FreeBSD?

	We should work at getting it fixed. Any ideas?

	Regards,
