[Redbutton-devel] Small changes to rb for Fedora 9

[Andrea <mar...@go...>]

Hi,

I've recently moved to Fedora 9 and I've just tried to run redbutton-browser.
I had a few small of issues:

1) the alsa output device "plughw" is not good when using pulseaudio, and in general I would use 
"default". Or one could allow for a command line option

2) redbutton still uses img_convert and other deprecated functions from ffmpeg. The recommended 
funtions are swscale. I managed to convert videoout_xshm.c to the new framework.
There are still 2 more occurencies which I have not converted.

3) avcodec_decode_audio should be replaced by avcodec_decode_audio2 which requires af->item.size to 
be initialized.

4) aspect-ratio: BBC broadcasts in 16:9, while redbutton shows everything 4:3. I have not yet found 
how to change it

5) audio in Multiscreen. No audio is played while in News Multiscreen. I get those warnings:
Unable to open MPEG stream (16768, 53, 0)

6) xvideo: I am trying to change to xvideo. Any suggestions?

Andrea
