I used to record streamed audio using this:
arecord -D copy -f cd -t wav out.wav -d 10
cat ~/asoundrc
pcm.copy {
type plug
slave {
pcm hw
}
route_policy copy
}
But since getting installing suse 10.3 this doesn't work.
I tried using amixer and alsamixer to set capture on the PCM device but it can't be done:
amixer set PCM capture
amixer: Invalid command!
In alsamixer I see 3 capture devices and I can only select capture on the capture device but this just allows me to record silence.
I have tried audacity but the same result.
My sound card is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
amixer tells me:

And I appear to have alsa 1.0.14-23 installed.
Playback seems to work fine for everything.
I am thoroughly confused, can anyone help?
Cheers,
SA
