To clarify, to make this hardware work you need to have several kernel options selected. For reasons below, you want to build them as modules, not monolithic-ally into the kernel (in the Linux kernel menuconfing, press M.

Just a quick note that I've put an ebuild for 1.8.0 release on the [bug=139019]bugzilla entry[/bug] which removes some more binary libs and tidies up the version code so that future bumps could be as simple as renaming the ebuild.

The only thing that makes any difference to the bandwidth usage in the end though is the bitrate you stream at - the higher that is, the more bandwidth you use, period.

The fact that flumotion streams vorbis/theora helps with the quality becuase they work well at low bitrates, but ...

I think with ivtv-0.8.x you need to to use v4l2-ctl in a lot of places where you used to use ivtv-ctl because of the merger into v4l2 in the kernel. I think the same issues apply to the channel changing mechanism, the reason it doesn't work bwing that the IOCLT API has changed so that although it ...

Depends on developer time to get remaining bugs removed. Probably in the next month or so unless people are very busy. May well be preceded by 1.2.5 (which doesn't change much except some obscure bugs in 1.2.4).

Unmask audacity 1.2.4b - it has better checks and so will work like you expect it to. No sane reason why it remains ~x86 except lack of time to get it stabilised - every time wxGTK breaks audacity bugs get files and it's considered "unstable".

So to summaries, if audacity or any other wx app fails with a compile error, then try re-building wxGTK first - it's very sensitive to GTK+ changes in a way that revdep-rebuild doesn't seem to pick up.

as far as wxProtoFile goes, the key thing is to re-emerge wxGTK-2.4, as it's been built against an older GTK+ version, and the GTK+ upgrade has broken wxGTK.

Turning on OSS in the kernel will upset ALSA, so leav it off, set the "oss" use flag, emerge alsa-oss and alsa-utils, and then you will get the OSS emulation loaded at boot time, and audacity will work.

Or rebuild wxGTK 2.4.x and then install audacity 1.2.4b from main portage. The problem is that wxGTK often is affected by GTK+ changes, and so needs rebuilding, which doesn't happen because it is a library and so not caught by revdep-rebuild.

I assume you are in x86, in which case the solution for audacity is to unmask the ebuilds from portage, so you get wxGTK 2.4.2-r4 (or later), and wxGTK-2.6.2 or later, which are slotted. You can then put audacity-1.2.4b-r1 or audacity-1.3.0b on top without problems.

The trick is that you can tell ...

Make sure you have the latest wxGTK - it installs the unicode and non-unicode versions side by side.
Then unmask the latest audacity 1.2.x (nice to see portage up to date) and emerge that, because the wxGTK checks have changed to reflect the current wxGTK ebuilds, and it should then work.

The original problem is the gcc-3.3 to gcc-3.4 switch. This changed library interfaces for c++ libraries, including wxwidgets, which audacity depends on.

Put very simply, audacity can't record in mono under linux whilst playing back other tracks because it ends up playing in stereo and recording in mono. This would be fine if you had native OSS audio drivers, but you don't you have ALSA + the OSS emulation modules.
