oss and alsa audio capture support were removed from v4l and v4l2 in VLC 1.0.0, but accesses were provided as sub-modules. To emulate old behaviour, use --input-slave oss:// or --input-slave alsa://.
In the module options below AOUT_CHANS_FRONT and other variables are defined in include/vlc_es.h. The values are not defined here because of their complexity.
Audio channels in VLC 2.0.1 must be configured manually (bugs) but --alsa-audio-channels defaults to stereo.
The access module option --alsa-format has been deprecated since VLC 2.1.0.
HDMI support is planned for VLC 4.0.0 through the --alsa-passthrough option.
