This file was converted from text at the early ReST days.
We learnt a lot about how to produce a nicer result while
keeping the file better readable as plain text.

Change some ReST markups to make it look better, both at
the output formats and as plain text file.

While here, remove references for the old bt848/winutil
tool, as it seems that it doesn't exist anymore.

makes no difference). The bttv driver prints a line to the kernel

example. The file CARDLIST has a list of valid arguments for card.

Some boards have an extra processor for sound to do stereo decoding
and other nice features. The msp34xx chips are used by Hauppauge for
example. If your board has one, you might have to load a helper
module like msp3400.o to make sound work. If there isn't one for the
module like ``msp3400`` to make sound work. If there isn't one for the

The bt8xx chips have 32 general purpose pins, and registers to control
these pins. One register is the output enable register
(BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN), it says which pins are actively driven by the
bt848 chip. Another one is the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA), where

Starting with release 0.7.41 bttv has a number of insmod options to
make the gpio debugging easier:
.. code-block:: none
================= ==============================================
bttv_gpio=0/1 enable/disable gpio debug messages
gpiomask=n set the gpiomask value
audiomux=i,j,... set the values of the audiomux array
audioall=a set the values of the audiomux array (one
value for all array elements, useful to check
out which effect the particular value has).

The messages printed with bttv_gpio=1 look like this:
.. code-block:: none
The messages printed with ``bttv_gpio=1`` look like this::
