Webcam on RaspberryPi

I had a Logitech C310 Webcam lying idle at home so decided to give it a try with the Raspberry Pi.

After hooking any usb device i always have a tendency to run lsusb and lsmod
It worked out of the box, i was able to see /dev/video0
Motion detection was good and captured screenshots with date time stamp.
Steps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install motion
sudo nano /etc/motion/motion.conf
change these lines to “off” in that file:
control_localhost off
webcam_localhost off
Start the program
sudo motion -n
Check Video Streams
http://raspberry ip address:8081 on the PC
Video Streaming was not usable it was very slow even at 320×240 @ 7~10 fps

For example, u-law,a-law Channels – How many channels are contained in the audio data.  For example, Stereo 2 channels SoX supports over 20 audio file formats.

The SoX of Silence SoX is, by their own definition,  the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation. And no doubt it’s full of fun with slicing and dicing and playback and recording and filtering and effects capabilities. But SoX is a command line tool, which means obscure syntax and parameters in order to get things done. I’ve been trying off and on for months to try to understand the  silence  filter from within SoX, which allows one to remove silence from the beginning, middle, or end of the audio. Sounds, simple, doesn’t it?  Well, it should be. Below is the  man page for the  silence  filter : silence  [-l] above-periods [duration threshold[d|%] [below-periods duration threshold[d|%]] Removes silence from the beginning, middle, or end of the audio. Silence is anything below a specified threshold. The above-periods value is used to indicate if audio should be trimmed at the beginning of the audio. A value of zero indicates no...
