audio/video in on laptop

[vEmpire]

So now that things are relatively solid, the feature that I would like to tackle next is getting iChat running fully.

I have HD audio out only working with azilla, on a realtek 0861. There does not appear to be a viable kext edit for getting audio in working.

I can get a USB audio stick and just use the audio in (since I want the lappy speakers for output) but I'm not 100% certain I'll have that kind of option, though I suspect I will, then get a seperate usb webcam, use macam and then use iChatUSBCam to get the webcam to function in iChat.

 

There are several USB webcams that also have mic's on them, but from what I've read, there is no success using the video and the audio in at the same time.

 

I suppose one option is an iSight? But I don't know that I've seen anyone actually using one on non apple hardware. It does appear to be suggested a lot, but no reports on anyone actually using it.

 

Any idea's on what the best way to go to get audio and video in working in addition to the current azilla audio out?

 

Thanks.
