[MPlayer-users] Problems in viewing and encoding TV

[eric tanguy]

Hello Stephan, the problem is the driver so i try to use v4l2 driver but
you have to indicate normid and also the device :
 mplayer -tv
driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:normid=2:width=640:height=480:outfmt=i420
-vc rawi420 -vo xv tv://
It runs but my problem is : without any sound.
How add sound ??
