I have never used jack (or any other sound daemon) to record the PCM output. All the soundcards that I am familiar with have "Mix" as a capture device, and then the procedure is straightforward: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Record_from_pcm [...] > These are the devices: $ arecord -lL [...] If you cannot find the "Mix" capture device then maybe it has another name (or there is a problem with the support for soundcard). I would be interested in seeing the output of: amixer | perl -n0e 'split(/(?<=\n)(?=[^ ])/);foreach(@_){if(/capture/i){print $_}}' Another possibility is using ALSA's "file" plugin to direct the PCM output to a file: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html#pcm_plugins_file I have never used that method myself, though; my impression is that it is not particularly straightforward to set up. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
