I finally got around to downloading and trying gramofile. Either I'm missing some files or I'm the dumbest kid on the block. So far its proven to be basically useless. I'm pretty sure its operator error, but the readme doesn't give much to go on. Many usages involve hitting the mixer button. All else follows. But I see nothing usefull happen when hitting the `Mixer button' Example : ./gramofile 1) Record audio to sound file ┌─File name:─────────────── │/usr/local/src/gramofile-1.6/new.wav └──────────────────── Select Mixer (as per readme instructions) │ Make sure that the appropriate channel │ | is selected for recording, and all the │ | others for playback. [ok] │ Here it seems the only choice is `ok'. No advice is offered as to how one might do what is printed there. `Make sure ...etc' So, now I'm flying blind. press [ok] TAB to `START RECORDING' Not surprisingly this brings me back to the original 1-6 choices And not surprisingly nothing good has happened. or is happening No new.wav appears ... nothing ..zip. Apparently I'm supposed to see somekind of interface when I press `Mixer'. The README even indicates it has a man page xmixer(1). I see nothing of the sort.
