Josef, there is no easycap module in the mainline kernelpackage! (I read in the CHANGES file, that many changes have been applied o the driver.)
Ok, I tested the linux-image-3.2.0-030200rc2-generic_3.2.0-030200rc2.201111151435_i386.deb Kernel from the mainline directory and even the daily built Kernel from today, but in both packages there is no easycap module. The kernels were booting without any problem. So, after plugging in the Easycap DC60, dmesg reported, that only the snd_usb_audio module was loaded. (I even could not find any easycap.ko in the /lib/modules/3.2.0-030200rc2-generic directory) Regards Andreas ________________________________ Von: Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisb...@canonical.com> An: andreassch...@yahoo.de Gesendet: 17:25 Montag, 21.November 2011 Betreff: [Bug 892524] Re: easycap kernel module; 12% dropped frames while playback Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . If possible, please test the latest v3.2-rcN kernel (Not a kernel in the daily directory). Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream- testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the others). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream- testing' text. If this bug is fixed by the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream-KERNEL-VERSION'. For example, if kernel version 3.2-rc1 fixed and issue, the tag would be: 'kernel-fixed- upstream-v3.2-rc1'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. If you believe this bug does not require upstream testing, please add the tag: 'kernel-upstream-testing-not-needed'. Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/892524 Title: easycap kernel module; 12% dropped frames while playback Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: While playing any video source with the EasycapDC60 device (with or without audio playback at the same time) ~ 10% frames are dropped with mplayer (and also if the Easycap is used with VLC or Tvtime).
