hi, i am writing a small code (based on the aplay.c source) to record data from my sound card. i cannot get away with simply using arecord since there are a few (unrelated) features that i need to build into this code (it is going to be used for logging VLF radio recordings). at present the stripped down version of the code works well: it records audio from the MIC jack. however the signal that comes in from our receiver is too big for the MIC (it requires no amplification), so i want to feed it into the LINE-IN jack. how do i go about telling ALSA to record from LINE-IN rather than MIC? i am aware that i can go and toggle this in the mixer. however, this software is ultimately going to run autonomously on an unattended machine, which will make the use of the mixer a little tricky! best regards, andrew. -- Andrew B.
