> strace arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav try: arecord -d 10 -f S16_LE -r 44100 -c 2 -t wav -D copy foobar.wav or arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D hw:0 foobar.wav Make sure copy is the right alias in your .asoundrc, otherwise you might need to use the card number (/proc/asound/cards (-D hw:0)). The "-f S16_LE -r 44100 -c 2" is the long hand of -f cd. Long hand is easier to modify, if you want to use a different rate, or only one channel(mono). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
