[MPlayer-users] Watching live TV --> make artificial sound delay

[boer Krelis]

Hi there, 

I've finally got my Marvel G400 going. Watching TV on the PC is great...
except for the delay in the video. Video and audio are out of sync
because the line-in audio is "live", whereas the video-decoding from the
tuner takes about half a second (don't ask me why). 

So, I'd like to buffer half a second of audio before playing the audio.
I've tried
mplayer -af delay=1000:1000:1000:1000:1000 -vo xv -tv
driver=v4l:input=2:norm=PAL:chanlist=europe-west:channel=E7:mjpeg:decim
ation=2:quality=60:forceaudio:alsa:immediatemode=0 tv://

As far as I understand, immediatemode=0 should mean capturing audio
instead of routing it through ALSA, and -af delay 1000:blabla should
delay the sound by 1000 ms for all speakers.
Sadly, there was no resulting audio delay. I've also tried -aop delay=1,
to no avail.

I'm using a SBLive with Alsa 1.0.3b, vanilla-kernel-2.25 and
mplayer-1.0pre3-3.3.3.

Is there a way to make an audio delay in MPlayer? Getting ALSA to delay
the audio from line-in would be great, too.
