Re: capturing data from the microphone

Hi,

I have the same kind of problem. I try to capture PCM stream thanks to 
areacord :
# arecord -c 1 -t wav -f S16_LE -r 8000 -d 10 input.wav

30 seconds later I have the folowing message :
# arecord: pcm_read:1629: read error: Input/output error

I can observe the PCM stream on an oscilloscope but no interrupt are 
catched by the system  (AIC ss0 counter remains at zero ) :
# cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
  1:     275059         AIC  at91_tick, rtc0, ttyS0
  7:        179         AIC  ttyS2
  9:         11         AIC  mmc0
 13:          0         AIC  atmel_spi.1
 14:          0         AIC  ssc0
 82:          1        GPIO  alerte
107:       9464        GPIO  eth0

Any idea?
