Hi!

Ooops, I didn't read the README ;) I think the only solution that would
work for me is to mix in a video stream, this might be OT - but is there
any tips about a program that can help me do that? I've googled a lot
around VLC but as I've understood it can't mix two different sources.

Thanks, Lars!
