Summary: MPLAYER_AO_DEV doesn't work with Alsa hw device settings
Initial Comment:
For TV viewing using an analog TV Capture card
(SAA7134), setting MPLAYER_AO_DEV to
'alsa:adevice=hw.1,0' doesn't enable the DMA audio for
TV playback using mplayer.

One of those small patches I applied earlier added a
RADIO_IN_VOLUME setting falling back to TV_IN_VOLUME if not
defined, so what I have done is to add these setting
freevo_config.py and local_conf.py and removed the fallback
TV_IN_VOLUME in radioplayer.
This may break your settings, as it will set the mixer to
RADIO_IN_VOLUME (80)

Here's the config that worked for me. I have to add the
RADIO_MUTE and UNMUTE commands, since the radioplayer plugin
doesn't change the mixer settings (AFAIK). TV viewing and
recording is using DMA Audio.
TV_IN_VOLUME = 0
VCR_IN_VOLUME = 0
CONTROL_ALL_AUDIO = 1
RADIO_CMD = 'fm'
RADIO_UNMUTE = 'amixer -q set Line 100%% unmute cap'
RADIO_MUTE = 'amixer -q set Line 0%% mute nocap'
# Line In for Radio only
RADIO_CMD_START = (RADIO_CMD + ' ' + '-q %s 65535' + '; ' +
RADIO_UNMUTE)
RADIO_CMD_STOP = (RADIO_MUTE + '; ' + RADIO_CMD + ' ' + '-q
off')

Just set TV_IN_VOLUME = 0 and CONTROL_ALL_AUDIO = 1 in
local_conf.py.
You can use the VideoGroup adev setting to set volume=100
This will affect all tv plugins, but as you only uning
mplayer is should not be a problem.

Tested working on r-8476. Both live TV and recording works
as expected using DMA sound.
However, now I have a new problem. If I leave Line In
plugged in, both the analog line in audio and the DMA sound
will be mux'ed. How do I mute the Line In for TV viewing
only? (VCR_CMD has a muting pre and post command).
I still have the analog Line In due to radio. DMA sound
isn't reliable at this point (I get buffer underruns).
In addition, arecord|aplay doesn't have any volume gain
adjustment unlike sox, but sox still doesn't work for me for
radio playback.

This is a special case for tv audio. There are two alsa tv
sound modules in the kernel, saa7134-alsa and cx88-alsa.
A new group_type 'tvalsa' has been added to VIDEO_GROUPS
that will allow the adev settings to be included in the
mplayer command.
The existing groups_types are:
normal
dvb
ivtv
webcam
The best way to explain this is with an example, here are
settings in local_conf.py:
# mplayer is fussy about having -ao alsa+params and -tv
alsa:adevice+params so set
MPLAYER_AO_DEV = 'alsa'
The changes to a VideoGroup are:
# video groups
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev = '/dev/video0',
adev =
'alsa:adevice=hw.1,0:amode=1:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:volume=100:immediatemode=0',
input_type = 'tuner',
input_num = 0,
tuner_norm = CONF.tv,
tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist,
desc = 'Pinnacle 110i Group',
group_type = 'tvalsa',
record_group = None),
]
I may be necessary to add, so that any other audio settings
are not altered.
CONTROL_ALL_AUDIO = 0
The changes have been applied to rel-1-6 at r8460. Please
test and confirm that it is working.
