+ -rawaudio rate=48000:channels=2
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+KNOWN PROBLEMS:
+
+country code
+ - The firmware of the chip needs the country code to determine
+ the stardards of video and audio when it runs for analog TV or radio.
+ The DVB-T does not need the country code.
+
+ So you must set the country-code correctly. The V4L2 does not have
+ the interface,the driver has to provide a parameter `country_code'.
+
+ You could set the coutry code in two ways, take USA as example
+ (The USA's country code is 1):
+
+ [1] add the following line in /etc/modprobe.conf before you insert the
+ card into USB hub's port :
+ poseidon country_code=1
+
+ [2] You can also modify the parameter at runtime (before you run the
+ application such as VLC)
+ #echo 1 > /sys/module/poseidon/parameter/country_code
