When I say "recording my desktop" I mean I would like to save in a file a video containing exactly what I am seeing on my screen. For example, the recordMyDesktop software do this job. I use ffmpeg to record because I like this software. The main advantage is the impressive number of options available (choice of the video size, video codec, audio codec, ...). Yes, speakers are for producing sound. I would like to save in my video file the sound produced by my speaker. A way to do this, is to bind with a cable the green jack and the red jack. In this way, I am recording what is produced by my speakers. But this hardware solution doesn't work well this time on my computer. I don't know exactly why because I remember I have already done this on an other computer. So, I prefer to find a way to say to ffmpeg to directly take the sound produced by my speakers to save it in my video file. I use a headset (headphones + microphone) because I want to hear the result of my video. Also, I use sometimes mumble so that's why a microphone is useful. But that was just an information I give to be sure that you know what jacks are used (maybe it can be important to be aware of this). I am saying "speakers" but I mean the audio produced (the audio output). In fact, I have no speakers, I have only a headset (as I mentioned before). So my question is how I can capture with ffmpeg/ALSA the audio produced by my speakers/headphones instead of capturing my microphone ?
