[linux-audio-dev] Radio Scanner Recorder

Hi all, I'm pretty new to the world of audio on linux, so please excuse the "newbeeness" of my question. :-) I'm a in the process of making a police/EMS/fire radio recorder. At first, I tought of doing a program similar to ScanRec(1) from the windows world -- that is not record when the sound is below a certain threshold. This could easily be done with ecasound's -ge parameter. However, I started thinking and found that it would be better to have a different file for each segment. For example, if there is - 45 seconds of speech, followed by - 3 minutes of silence, followed by - 2 minutes of speech I would get two files, one 45 seconds long and one 2 minutes long. Does such a program allready exists, and if not, what would be the best/easiest way of doing it? 1: http://www.davee.com/scanrec/ Thanks a lot, GFK's -- Guillaume Filion, ing. jr Logidac Tech., Beaumont, Québec, Canada - http://logidac.com/ PGP Key and more: http://guillaume.filion.org/
