Re: Audio/Video on amd64 Lenny
I did get the microphone to work after the ia32 libs were installed.
(not quite sure why...)
But, the sound quality from the mic is pretty bad...
Concerning the webcam...

We need the vendor and device ID, see the output of "lsusb".

Nothing I have tried will bring up the webcam.
That statement does not help at all; what did you try already?
I tried configuring Ekiga, and it could find no video (/dev/video0) device.
I tried using VLC and accessing the v4l capture device (/dev/video0) and it
sent the app's UI into a blinking frenzy.
So I tried a few commands:
====
# v4l-conf # This one I just ran over a VNC connection from the office to
home... So the X-display is :1.0...
v4l-conf: using X11 display :1.0

It looks like /dev/video0 should be there and be functional...
Any help is greatly appreciated,
