Big Thanks to Gabriel and the team. I haven't quite figured out getting
my analog capture card fired up under lives. Not having the audio
capture is only an issue for cards (like mine) that actually do audio
capture. Most analog capture cards require you to run a jumper from that
card's output to your sound card line in.

So, when all the pressing issues are addressed, I'd like turn-key analog
capture support, for techo dummies like me who cant seem to get the ppa
going, and think compile is something the copier does. Maybe audio
capture for cards (like the Hauppauge pvr 500 I'm running) that require
it.  Actually I have a pvr 150 in a box here somewhere, so I could do
the jumper thing if need be.
One of these days I hope to produce something interesting, and which I
have rights to, so I can post to the Facebook user forum. Some day.

Regards,
Patrick
