Hi,

I can't record sound from my Hauppage WinTV with ffmpeg. The audio out of the 
tvcard is connected to the line in of the soundcard. I can record sound with 
moTV (XawTV) but not with ffmpeg. ffmpeg records sound if I choose another 
input device like the cd in. It looks like ffmpeg is forgetting to the the 
tvcard to send it's sound to the audio card. ffmpeg tells me that it records 
the sound, but all it gets is silence.

ffmpeg -target dvd -vd /dev/bktr -ac 2 -tvstd PAL /var/tmp/fft.mpeg

What am I missing here?
