Have you looked at campware? It provides open source software solutions to run radio stations:<br><br><a href="http://www.campware.org/">http://www.campware.org/</a><br><br>Not sure if it supports the sound backup you are wanting.
<br><br>A simple bash script calling arecord to save date and timestamped files for a fixed duration should be able to do the job though (as long as you are using alsa!).<br><br>something like:<br><br>#!/bin/bash<br>while [ 1 ]
<br>do<br> arecord -d 86400 -r 44100 -t wav soundbackup`date "+%H%m%d%y"`.wav<br>done<br><br>(haven't tested this so it may not work, but you get the idea!)<br><br>James<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

please excuse the random spewing of ideas:<br><br>i work at a radio station, and it would be awesome if i could record<br>insanely long periods of time (for quality control).<br><br>i'd love to be able to record 24/7, with new audio replacing old. a
<br>400gig drive could hold two weeks of 16-bit 44.kHz stereo audio. how<br>long could it survive constant writing?<br><br>alternatively, are there any one-line commands that will simply record<br>continuously to a series of files until a partition runs out of space?
