Dave I want to think you for that info, I was trying to compile just the 
gmerlin.tar.gz and what a freaking nightmare with dependencies, and when 
you come back on the all-in-one, that sure made life much easier.
That is the longest compile I have ever done with no errors.
Boy the guy that put that tar.gz together deserves a big hug.
Boy talk about a Mixer settings, now gmerlin has a mixer.
I got the Mic working with Skype , you definitely  can see all the 
setting , real good.
I have been trying to get this MIc working for over a year for Skype on 
this X86_64 box
What I don't understand is why Fedora doesn't use this App.

Thanks again

Jim
