12 streamer reads audio and/or video data from /dev/video0 and /dev/dsp
13 and writes the data to the disk. Various output formats are supported.

15 formats.

17 streamer will use the file extention of the output file name to figure
18 which format to use. You need the -f/-F options only if the extention
19 allows more than one format. If you get the "neither audio nor video
20 format specified/found" message and don't know why, you can enable the
21 debug output (-d switch) to see what is going on.

25 file headers) before exiting.
