[linux-audio-user] digital recording of minidisc?

[roussel jerome]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to record my minidisc using the optical output of 
my Minidisc Deck. My soundcard (a CMI8738 ) has got an optical input
so it should be easy ;-) .
My problem is that I don't know how to record the sound from the optical 
input so that there is a new file created for each track an my MD.
I know that there is a signal to say: this is the end of the track. So 
it should be possible to detect this sort of "End Of Track" but I don't 
know if it must be in hardware or in software.

If it is possible to do this in software, do you know a software 
recorder that records from the optical (or digital) input (with alsa) 
and that creates a new file for each track?

Thank you for your help,

JrSky.
