Hi!

I had a little difficulty applying the patch and later restarting devd 
(WARNING: failed to start devd) but the end result seems interesting:

kernel: ugen3.2: <vendor 0x046d> at usbus3
kernel: uaudio0: <vendor 0x046d product 0x0823, class 239/2, rev 
2.00/0.10, addr 2> on usbus3
kernel: uaudio0: No playback!
kernel: uaudio0: Record: 32000 Hz, 2 ch, 16-bit S-LE PCM format
kernel: uaudio0: No midi sequencer
kernel: pcm1: <USB audio> on uaudio0

So I do have audio but where is video ?

And how should I test it ?  :-)

Cheers,

Martin
