Hi,

First of all great job on the pwc driver. I just bought the QuickCam
for Notebooks Pro, ran "emerge usb-pwc-re" (gentoo install for the pwc
driver) and that was it! So simple, great job! Tested with mplayer and
it worked great. I have some questions / issues I hope someone can
help me out with:


TWO QUESTIONS:

1) I don't have any sound when I record. The quickcam has a built in
microphone. I use the following code to test it:

mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=640:height=480 -vo mpegpes
gmplayer grab.mpg

Video is there, but no sound. I can't tell if the microphone is
disabled, or if it is just muted or what. Can anyone help me debug /
track the problem? I have snd-usb-audio and v4l compiled in.



2) So this new pwc driver is a complete replacement of the pwcx binary
driver. Is there a speed/performance difference using a) the current
pwc driver, b) the old binary pwcx driver, or c) using the official
windows drivers?


Thaks everyone,
-Raf
