1 I have an easycap usb framegragger/capture device I am trying to get to
2 work on a laptop.

4 Video is fine (looks excellent in fact :) in xawtv but I dont have
5 audio. The laptop is using pulse audio (gnome desktop) because some
6 app I needed wanted it - not sure what now ! I can see the audio moving
7 the level bars in the pulse input controller tab (and it stops when I
8 disconnect the cable) but nothing gets to the laptop speaker. As well,
9 xawtv doesnt show as playing audio in the output application tab.

11 Only difference I have found so far is that /proc/asound/card1/pcm0c
12 doesnt exist - so what creates it?
