As stated previously, it appears that Freevo is setting the IGAIN mixer pot to 0, which forces no sound to be recorded, even though you can hear the LINE IN sound over the speakers. IIRC, my Soundblaster went away from standard and allowed the IGAIN to be set to 0 and still record off the LINE-IN but this is highly abnormal from everything I've been reading.
Aside from the previously mentioned times Freevo resets these values, I have also determined that Freevo eroneously sets Inputs and IGAIN to 0 when viewing "Recorded TV Shows". I say Erroneously because there is no reason I can think of that I should not be able to watch a show while recording another (or even the same one). Mencoder and Mplayer seem to be able to record and play the same stream at the same time. That is where Tivo allows people to watch a TV show and skip the commercials, the users just start watching a little later and FF through unwanted video (like Commercials). Do we have to include what Channels do what in the setup? PCM and Master are simple enough to determine. Which input to choose from is another story, however. Does Freevo view the IGAIN as an INPUT or an OUTPUT or some other unknown, that it turns it off completely at every Freevo controlled Mixer-change? Thanks again for the hard work! I know this is a hurdle, but one which I look forward to seeing how it is resolved. As a workaround, perhaps we can add in a mixer command prior to the mencoder line? That will not, however, alter the behavior of watching recorded stuff. Another tack, what was that setting to NOT allow Freevo to change the Mixer? This will work for everything but directly watching TV. If we could configure Freevo to only turn on and off what on KMIX is the "Green Light" (which allows the LINE-IN to output directly to the speakers) but not adjust the settings? Thanks!
