This avdevice decoder allows to capture audio from an ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) device.

The filename parameter is the name of an ALSA PCM device capable of capture, for example "default" or "plughw:1"; see the ALSA documentation for naming conventions. The empty string is equivalent to "default".

The capture period is set to the lower value available for the device, which gives a low latency suitable for real-time capture.

The PTS are an Unix time in microsecond.

Due to a bug in the ALSA library (https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4308), this decoder does not work with certain ALSA plugins, especially the dsnoop plugin.
