Hi,
While trying to get my Hauppauge's remote control working, I noticed that my
PC speaker is getting recognized as an input device. This seems very weird
to me, is there some logic behind this?
takis@aether:~$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100
N: Name="PC Speaker"
P: Phys=isa0061/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
H: Handlers=kbd event0
B: EV=40001
B: SND=6
...
I'm using the 2.6.17 kernel (it is an Ubuntu kernel though).
With friendly regards,
Takis

Simple, all speakers are microphones!

Though I don't know the real reason for recognising a speaker as an
input device, this could be a "logical" explanation :o)

It would be if it would be recognised as /dev/dsp4 or something... but
/dev/input/event4 makes it look like a mouse or keyboard which still
seems very weird and illogical to me :)

Some keyboards have speakers build-in (sparc).
