On Monday 12 December 2005 16:47, Paul Davis was like:
RECORDING
- record from hardware inputs
* use default audio interface
* use other audio interface
* specify which h/w input to use
* control input gain
- record from other application(s)
- record from live (network-delivered) compressed audio
streams
If, I understand correctly, you're talking to desktop designers, sound capable
systems should have clear icons on the toolbar or wherever for sound mixer
and simple record button as standard. I also find having a 'Restart Sound
System' menu item rather useful at times.
Applications also need to give sensible error messages in the case that ALSA
is un/misconfigured, prompting them to rerun alsaconf or whatever. I have
found inclusion of the aadebug script immensely useful so put that as:
- provide a standard interface for debugging/configuring the sound system
Or something like that.
I'd be interested to hear how this discussion goes. Keep us posted please.
