[alsa-devel] $1000 bounty for getting audio working under linux on a Osprey 440
Need to get audio working on Osprey 440 card.
http://www.viewcast.com/pages.asp?page=osprey-440
The card is bt878 based, and ViewCast says it is supported on linux however not something they support. Audio is not detected by default, but does how up when you do a modprobe snd-bt87x load-all(see below). However I have not been able to pull audio from the card (only get high pitched noise). Bid may require patching bt878.c if modprobe options don't work. Only mono support is required.

A few people mentioned that instead of a cash I should offer a card (since the card is about 1K anyway). If anyone is willing to do this for a Osprey 440 card that also works.

Is it possible to record audio in Windows (without going through a separate sound card)?
Did you try the digital input and the three analog inputs?

Analong inputs are all tied to ground, so no, you don't get anything on them. I got nothing on digital inputs until I figured out the GPIO by booting in windows and checking it out with a logic probe.
modprobe bttv card=140 bttv_gpio=1 bttv_verbose=2 bttv_debug=1 gpiomask=0x000303 audioall=0xFFFCFC
The above will let you get audio, but gain is very high by default. The gain is controlled via the Altera X9221 on address 0x50. I am not sure how to add support for alsa, but I found old btaudio drivers from viewcast that are out of date and no longer supported.
