Howdy, (origonally posted to gmane.linux.agnula.general, it was suggested to try this list as well) I need to monitor and record a number of radio and telephone inputs. When the conversation is finished, I need to compress the audio and log the time and source of the recording. I installed Agnula DeMuDi on a spare machine, it seems to know all about the M-Audio Delta 1010lt card which is in there. That's about all I know. Questions; - am I asking these questions on the correct list? if not, please give directions. - does a project exist which seeks to do multi-channel voice actuated recording? - if not, is this a reasonable task to attempt for a low/mid level Python programmer? Thanks, Kent
