Dear all, on behalf of the QARecord development team, I'm pleased to announce the release of QARecord 0.5.0. QARecord is a simple but solid recording tool. It works well with stereo and multichannel recordings, supporting ALSA and JACK interfaces and in both 16 bit and 32 bit mode. By using a large ringbuffer for the captured data, buffer overruns are avoided. It has a Qt based GUI with graphical peak meters. It is available under the GNU General Public License. Special thanks go to Frank Kober and David Henningsson for their effort.
