== Sound ==
What is the problem with sound? I have video but I don't have sound. Is this principal problem or nobody is busy with it?

Satarsa

----

I don't have that device for testing, I just added support for loading a firmware which is supposed to work with another device.
Audio has always been a problem with all devices but I got all my devices work properly.

Markus

I will be in Germany (big probability) in April in Berlin and in May in Hamburg. I can bring it :-)

Also, I will be in France (Grenoble) from 7 March to 19 March. 

If I'd be able to help, it'd be very cool! :-)

Satarsa

----

I'm in Dresden, about 1 1/2 hours away from Berlin by train, it's definitelly worth to visit Dresden :)

Markus

----

Ok, let's discuss it later when I will have got a visa. :-)

Question: why is not saa7134-alsa compiled? The compiler goes around saa7134-alsa diligently, even it is turned on in the kernel.

== DVB-T ==

Hello,

Thank you for this helpfull article. Unfortunatelly, I can not use the DVB-T part. Is this related to firmware or I miss something during installation?
I downloaded firmwares as described on http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Em2880#Installation.

Well I'd need to have a sample of that device by myself.

Markus

Is a chance, that you will visit Prague in Czech Republic? What are other options? Shall I send it to you?

in summer maybe, definitelly not now :-) but you can also send it to me for a while yes.

Could we discuss details offline? My email is [mailto:jiri@navratil.cz Jiri Navratil].
