Hi,
I would like to record Skype conversations. I use Ubuntu 7.04, AMD
Athlon 1700 on the Dragon motherboard and USB headset.
andy@andy:~$ arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: CMI8738MC6 [C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6], device 0: CMI8738-MC6
[C-Media PCI DAC/ADC]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: CMI8738MC6 [C-Media PCI CMI8738-MC6], device 2: CMI8738-MC6
[C-Media PCI IEC958]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Headset [Logitech USB Headset], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Unfortunately old OSS method (a.k.a. skype-rec) is not feasible since
Skype 1.4 does not support OSS any more. I tried multiple methods using
ALSA e.g.:
1-direct recording from the Headset device. arecord fails with Device or
resource busy
2-I created:
andy@andy:~$ cat .asoundrc
pcm.copy {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0"
}
route_policy copy
}
hopping that it somehow detach the device used by Skype and arecod
program but it did not help:
andy@andy:~$ arecord -t wav -D copy target.wav
arecord: main:550: audio open error: Device or resource busy
3- a lot of research on the Internet turned out to be fruitless.
Any idea how to do that, thx in advance
Andy
