Not sure if matching this criteria, but the very basic I've successfully used like years ago to record from some old LPs is plain arecord. From the MAN output: ------------ NAME arecord, aplay - command-line sound recorder and player for ALSA soundcard driver SYNOPSIS arecord [flags] [filename] aplay [flags] [filename [filename]] ... DESCRIPTION arecord is a command-line soundfile recorder for the ALSA soundcard driver. It supports several file formats and multiple soundcards with multiple devices. If recording with interleaved mode samples the file is automatically split before the 2GB filesize. aplay is much the same, only it plays instead of recording. For supported soundfile formats, the sampling rate, bit depth, and so forth can be automatically determined from the soundfile header. If filename is not specified, the standard output or input is used. The aplay utility accepts multiple filenames. ------------ arecord and aplay chould come with alsa-utils: % apt-cache search 'arecord' alsa-utils - Utilities for configuring and using ALSA -- Javier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
