Hello Uwe, |

In my experienes, you need to build a 'mixing studio' or at least |
9 |
a very simple A/V mixing system. There are too many A/V tools to use. |
10 |
I'd first look at the MoBo book and see what onboard hardware you have |
11 |
plus 'lspci' -v and 'lshw'. Using the core mobo chips is usually the |
12 |
most straightforward. Also look at what sound cards you have. |
13 |
|
14 |
|
15 |
Then 'eix <keyword>' using mixer, audio, jack, alsa etc to |
16 |
discover the various packages and try them out. Also use |
17 |
google to search for <keywords> + <audio chips> where |
18 |
audio chips are the actual chips you find on your hardware. |

|
20 |
'kmix' is a quick and simple mixer that often provides control |
21 |
over the various audio chips. You'll also have to rebuild your |
22 |
kernel many times to find the right combo of drivers to compile |
23 |
in and/or load as modules. Often the various audio chip drivers |
24 |
conflict at the kernel, udev or application level. There is |
25 |
no 'silver bullet' to build a mixer/mux for A/V, in my experience. |
26 |
It all depends on what you need. Moving over old movies, one |
27 |
of your greatest challenges will be keeping the audio and |
28 |
video synchronized over the duration of the recorded stream. |
