hi, to record raw audio, my prefered tools are cat(1) and audioctl(1) i use audioctl(1) to set the enconding, rate, precision and number of channels and then cat /dev/sound >filename to record. I'd suggest you not to use emulated encodings (those tagged with '*' in the output of 'audioctl -a'). See also audio/sox and audio/audacity from ports regards, -- Alexandre
