1.9.2.7 Audio features

[majx]

I removed both audio and video modules from the linux-src
(via make menuconfig)

for me it's ok

[wiz]

It is the most useless feature I have seen so far. I wonder if there are people that hook up a webcam to it or usb speakers anyways.

Would be nice to free up the memory to make room for something useful.

Well, I think ASUS should concentrate on fixing existing bugs rather than add new "features", which are totally useless for router box.

[wiz]

I agree, like hooking up usb speakers will help sell this thing because it has got a unique selling point.

Personally I don't think there is a single soul on earth that wanted to hook up speakers to an access point / router in the first place.

And you are totally right about fixing bugs first before putting in new features. Get all the current things running nicely first, and once that is done, develop something useful for it.

Like ip6 support for it, or vpn services

leave asus-guys working...they create their firmware for end-users.

It think it's better to patch their sources to remove uneeded tools to be able to add more needed ones.
(btw, why are iptables patched to remove "multiport"?)

In the case, somebody wants to compile them in...he will be provided with input on how to do it.

Keep it small, keep it simple

Well, I'm using the webcam on daily basis, but using other pwc.o and using palantir. Audio could be usefull for someone with the right speakers, but this should be a remote part of the router users.
So audio is useless, video is not (in fact, it was a selling point for me).

Im on Hugos line, cam is good, audio is less.
I use two 500g in WDS mode to get a link between two buildings and the support for camera is a superb function for me todo supervising off the buildings.

This exacltly the thing I wanted to make clear in the topic "features or stability"

I think there are much more important things to fix that only introduce features that look nice on the package.
