Description of problem: When using transcode for recording from a tv-card using the -c option to specify the time window, transcode blocks at the expiration of the time window (kill -9 needed), I get ugly messages in /var/log/messages and dmesg, and transcode no longer records complaining about /dev/dsp being busy (nothing to see with lsof) and complaining about probing the v4l device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl transcode-0.6.12-1.fr (from freshrpms) How reproducible: every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl and transcode-0.6.12-1.fr 2. Use transcode with the following command, or something similar, I got this command from gv4l: transcode --progress_off -x v4l,v4l -i /dev/video0 -p /dev/dsp -V -u 100 -g 384x288 -f 0,3 -y xvid -o /home/bart/videos/video.avi -w 1800,250,100 -b 96,0,5 -s 0 -J preview --import_v4l 0,VT4 -c 0-0:01:00 3. Wait until the minute specified with the -c option is over. 4. See the preview window of transcode freeze 5. See that you cannot kill transcode, a kill -9 is needed. 6. Check the recording, it's good. 7. View /var/log/messages and dmesg 8. Try transcode again, see that recording is no longer possible, view the messages output on the terminal Additional info: See http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1545
