This is from the Wiki at http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.pl?LinuxIssues Audacity can use ALSA natively if you compile it to use PortAudio v19 instead of the default, v18. Note that v19 is still evolving and not as well tested, but it is the only way that Audacity supports ALSA. Many users have reported good experiences with it. To use it, reconfigure Audacity like this: ./configure --with-portaudio=v19 --without-portmixer > Now, is there any tricky mapping of channels, probably with .asoundrc, > so that the line-in signal shows up in ch. 1 and 2? Not it pure OSS probably, but you could use libaoss to let Audacity-OSS talk to ALSA devices without knowing it does so. But actually I record radio a lot with ecasound, which has the advantage, that it can be put into a cronjob and thus can even record, when I'm away/asleep. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
