[cpia] more than one camera question ..

[Ramprasad Rao]

I am a newbie but was thrilled to get my ezcam USB to work. Thanks to all 
the developers. I just have a couple of questions. 

1. I was planning on getting a couple other cameras. How would the 
device names be. Is the following correct -

mknod /dev/video1 c 81 1
mknod /dev/video2 c 81 2

A related question - How far away can the camera be placed. The longest 
available USB cable is 5 m but one could string HUBS in series. 

2. Can one capture sound with this camera. The 'xawtv' program crashes 
every time I try to use sound. 

Some details about my setup:
iMac running linuxppc - kernel 2.2.17pre6 with a 2.4.0-test2 USB backport.

I apologize if this is a faq somewhere - Ram
