I'll try that, but I've found that jack_capture has a --recording-time Additional argument and says that it 'can connect to any input or output jack port'. I saw it mentioned at https://jackaudio.org/applications/ but the link didn't take me anywhere useful, so I looked elsewhere eventually. https://github.com/kmatheussen/jack_capture is a better source. You'll understand I'd rather use jack if possible. :) -- Thanks again, John. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
