# This took me far too long to figure out how to do but
# I think I've learned a lot from it. What a great exercise!
# These comments are for my future-self and whomever else.

# Requirements:
# - alsa-utils
# - libv4l (brought in by USE=v4l)
# - mpv
#
# Tools I used to figure this shit out
# - arecord, aplay
# - ffmpeg
# - lspci
# - Lots of searching through ancient fragments of the 'net
#
# TODO:
# - Capture the exact PIDs of the launched mpv / alsaloop to prevent
# shutting down any other loops / mpv that happen to be open
# Set our device to 1080p otherwise it defaults to 480p
v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080
# Connect to capture card and display captured images immediately
# Send to background so we can initiate the loop below
mpv --title="Capture Card" av://v4l2:/dev/video0 --profile=low-latency --untimed &
# Run a loop for the capture card digital audio to be sent to my desktop audio
while :
do
alsaloop -C hw:2,0 -P hw:1,0 &
if [[ $(pgrep -f alsaloop) -gt 0 ]]; then
break
fi
done
# Watch for mpv to exit
while pgrep -f mpv >/dev/null; do
sleep 3
continue

# Kill the alsaloop when mpv exits, then terminate this script
