It will write a 44 byte file
called file.wav and exit before you even say
"a". I 'have' to use the -d
switch, which I think is a waste.
weird. what version of arecord?
version 1.0.4
The problem also is that I can't use oss-emulation to record. /dev/dsp
is good for signals out, but not signals in. That means legacy programs
like wavtools, sound-recorder of rawrec can't be used.
Hmm, i can use audacity fine for recording [another oss app].. i can also
record with sox.. it sounds to me as if you have a hw problem.. what driver
module are you using?
emu10k1. I checked the aliases and they are correct. /dev/dsp is linked to
/dev/dsp0, so why can Audacity play sounds, but not record? I'll dig further
this weekend.
I don't
know how
I can check the mapping from alsa devices to oss devices, because I
suspect that there must be something wrong there, but then again I'm
guessing as I am by no means an expert on these matters.
http://alsa-project.org/~iwai/OSS-Emulation.html
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=OssEmulation
I'll check those pages. Thank you for this.
Apart from
arecord I don't know of any other cli program that can record sound from
alsa devices.
hmmm, well there isn't one because usually it does everything one needs :)
To be honest. I think alsa sucks on this point. When I want to record
via line-in I use my old Pentium 200 with SB AWE64 and the oss/free
drivers. Works like a charm, never needs special switches or pointers to
devices. I know the statement that alse sucks is
very subjective and
totally biased, but until now I haven't been able to record anything
decent on my new system (Athlon 2500+ with Audigy1) with alsa drivers.
Midi and sequencing works like charm, so I am happy with that, but I
need a problem free way to record. Audacity does only /dev/dsp
recording, ReZound can record but is too unstable, so what else is
there? I want a KISS solution. Any hints?
if arecord doesn't work for you then either your hardware or the version of
arecord you use is faulty.. actually plughw:0,0 is afaik the default device
so
arecord -f cd file.wav
should usually work like a breeze..
The shortest that works for me is arecord -d 1 test.wav :-)
Cheers and thanks.
