SAA7134 - clarifications and a question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi:

I'm relatively new to this V4L stuff and it sometimes takes me awhile to
get my head around new things.  So, here's how I understand a few points,
and a question I have:

1.  the SAA7134 driver is a V4L2 driver, yes?

2.  The V4L2 code only works with 2.4.x kernels, yes?

3.  This means I have to upgrade from 2.2.20 to 2.4.x in order to use my
flyvideo 3000.  hmmmmm.  Going to be fun.

And now to my question. I am currently using ALSA 0.9.2 to drive my
soundcard (it works considerably better than the OSS version of the same
driver).  But the SAA7134 sound stuff is an OSS driver.  Am I going to
experience any difficulties with trying to make the two systems co-exist?
Are there any tricks to doing this?  And, given that ALSA is now in the
2.5.x kernels, are there any plans to ALSA-ise the SAA7134 driver?

Geoff.
