Hi,
Yes, I can also do this with aplay and arecord, however, i was having a
few overuns with arecord and so decided to try ecasound instead. My
problem is that I don't know how the "-D spdif" or "-D plug:spdif"
translates to ecasound flags.
Thanks, Jordan
Is it possible
to record from the spdif input? I've been googling
quite
a bit, and I don't understand if or how I can relate device or
subdevice
numbers to the spdif input.
First of all, check you alsa.conf (slocate alsa.conf) to see if it
already has a spdif device listed, mine does. Try:
cat /location/of/your/alsa.conf | grep spdif
Mine says that...
pcm.spdif cards.pcm.iec958
...is available, so to use aplay as an example, this would mean
something like these:
aplay -D spdif mysound.wav
aplay -Dplug:spdif mysound.wav
