Hi, Is there any provision in ALSA (either within the kernel or libasound) for extracting track marker information from S/PDIF? I have a large number of MiniDisc recordings to preserve as FLAC format. Losing track markers would be a huge inconvenience, though I don't care for the rest of the metadata (track names etc..) There's enough recordings to be worth developing specific software for the archival if it can access this information. I don't really know which path is likely to be successful: * An ALSA API to access the information; though I can't see anything specific to track markers * Whether a timecode could be used to detect track change; but I can't see any in /proc/asound/Layla3G/status * Does ALSA provide access to raw AES streams, so I could decode it in userland? I'm un-sure if this relates to hardware AC3 decoding. * Maybe this sort of status is only available to the firmware of the interface and never makes it to userland (in my case, echo3g); though I can see some constants relating to 'non audio' S/PDIF. The hardware I have here is Echo Layla 3G (snd-echo3g) and a Pioneer MJ-D707 MiniDisc recorder. Any advice appreciated -- many thanks. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
