Why not use the xmms disk writer?
of course that would be the simple answer ...
However audacity can't open the audio port
/dev/dsp
when streaming audio is playing. This is on knoppix
3.4 using the OSS driver.
Would using ALSA make this possible?
yes. you would need to set up the dmix plugin
in .asoundrc.
But dmix won't help with recording, it's purely a playback
mixer. Even
dshare won't help here. However I had some success using the "tee" or
even better, the "file" plugin.
doh. :-/ that's what I get for giving advice I wouldn't and haven't used
myself. oh well.
