== testing video input ==Once in Xfce you can test to see if you are able to receive video from a composite source via the USB Live-2.  For basic testing purposes mplayer serves well.  You will want to make sure that the driver loaded by using lsusb as described earlier.  A device should have been created in /dev as /dev/video0 or if you have other capture cards it could be /dev/video1 or higher.  Confirm which video device belongs to your USB Live 2.  For our example we will assume /dev/video0From the command prompt in a console window type the following: mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:norm=NTSC:width=720mplayer will complain that there is no TV Tuner (because of the -tv switch) however this will not prevent video from being displayed.  Specifying width= can be substituted with a width you prefer based on your resolution.  You should now see video from your source. Please note that the indicator lights on the USB Live 2 device will not illuminate nor will they blink during testing.== testing audio input ==Install PulseAudio Volume Control.  apt-get install pavucontrol
