I am able to record videos to disk with sound just
fine. I am trying to do a live stream with sound and
video. So far, video works fine. I was hoping someone
had already had success with this so that I could put
it to work, but also, since I am doing documentation,
I wanted to provide some known good usage examples.

This is good to know. I think I noticed the
frame-dropping you are talking about. That may explain
it.

Yes, by all means. Again, if for no other reason but
to  include it in documentation as a potential
solution.

Thanks.
