[PD] pix_video under linux

[Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999]

ummmmmmmm 

Was pix_video supposed to work under gem.87 under linux? because I just 
happend to load the pix_video simple patch and I'm getting noise on the 
square, in fact its looks an awful lot like the noise that comes out of 
my winTV card when Its set to "tuner" input. Here is the output:

cap: name BT878(Hauppauge (bt878)) type 235 channels 4 maxw 640 maxh 576 
minw 48 minh 32

picture: brightness 32768 depth 0 palette 0

channel 0 name Television type 1 flags 3
channel 1 name Composite1 type 2 flags 2
channel 2 name S-Video type 2 flags 2
channel 3 name Composite3 type 2 flags 2
buffer size 4259840, frames 2, offset 0 2129920

frame 0 0, format 4, width 48, height 32

allocating
GEM: pix_video: Opened video connection

Now I tried running the "video sphere" example patch, but that segfaulted 
PD. So is this supposed to work? How do I change the video input source? 
a message "channel 1" did not work. Even the teapot works!!!!!!! 

I'm reading though the pix_video (linux) src now, but my c++ is 
nonexistant! I'll see if I can find the method for "channel"

Thanks all, I'm simply blown away.

Ben
