Afair virtualdub uses  the windows api to capture/display the video. I think
it is impossible to change
the channels with it. This would require some additional register
programming for which we need to have
a port of libdha or something similar first. The current libdha works ok on
windows98
but doesn't work at all on NT based systems.
