> Rebuilding audio chain in graph failure. Error=0x80070057
Hm, this message souldn't occure in noaudio or immediate=1 modes.
Graph builder fails to build audio media stream in graph.
Usually this happens in pins connection processm when one of methods
returns error (0x80070057==E_INVALIDARG).
I can say more because output hasn't enough data.

Please use something like this for more verbose output:
mplayer -tv driver=dshow -msglevel all=9 tv://2  >mplayer.out

I have also prepared updated version (patch attached).
It contains a lot of fixed bugs.
Unfortunately, i had not time to build new binary (i hope will do this soon).

All things below belongs to v43.

After applying patch replace "#define Debug if(0)" with "#define Debug if(1)"
in outputpin.c and guids.c.

make distclean && ./configure && make
("--enable-tv-dshow" is not nesseccery now.)

Use:
G:\mplayer-r21948-dshow-v26\usr\local\bin>mplayer tv://2 -tv driver=dshow

Note: this command assumes that you have apropriate
"tv=chanlist=<your_chanlist>:channels=<your_channel_list>" line in
MPlayer's config.

Default mode is getting sound from line-in cable, so no need to use
"noaudio" or "immediatemode=1"
I think, norm=ntsc also unnessecery because proper norms are hardcoded
into windows directshow driver. Use it only when default behaviour is
wrong ("norm=" was unsupported in v26).

P.S. I'll wait for "-msglevel all=9" output.
P.P.S I'll also prepare updated binary soon.
