Two SAA7134 TV Cards and sound over PCI bus

["Hoeschen, Markus" <markus.hoeschen (at) burdadigital.de>]

Hello,

hope someone can help me...

I'm using two SAA7134 based TV cards in one PC (Fedora Core 4) in
conjunction with vlc (videolan-client) to stream two TV channels to my
network.
Before updating to kernel 2.6.15 everything worked without any problem.
Now with the new kernel I can see the picture but I don't here any
sound.
This seams to be due the new kernel isn't supporting OSS any more.

In kernel 2.6.14 I've done modprobe (/etc/modprobe.conf):

alias char-major-81 saa7134
options saa7134 video_nr=2,3 dsp_nr=2,3 vbi_nr=2,3 mixer_nr=2,3
radio_nr=2,3 card=2,2 tuner=37,37 oss=1,1

This gives me /dev/dsp2 (TV card1) and /dev/dsp3 (TV card2) for the two
audio sources. In this case sound is transferd through PCI bus not
through any "external" cable (remember I've got 2 cards in the same PC).
Now I can use vlc to capture audio and video from this sources and
stream it through my network.

With the new kernel the OSS support seams to be discontinued (see
kernel-log).

modprobe with the settings above always fails: dmseg says that the
settings "dsp_nr", "mixer_nr" aren't supported any more.
Modprobe without this settings will register the /dev/video0 and 1
devices but no audio devices.
Loading saa7134-alsa after saa7134 will register /dev/audio0 and
/dev/dsp0 but not one dsp for every TV card.

I don't have any idea how to solve this....

Perhaps someone can give me a hint?

Many thanks in advance!

Mr.LiveTV
