Aloha from Hawaii! I'm using a Raspberry Pi and am trying to make an alarm kinda thing... What I need to figure out how to do, and what I'm looking for help with is to figure out how to make sox (using the rec command I believe) record into a null file (meaning it doesn't really record, just goes through the motions) until there's 5 seconds of silence... Being that the Raspberry Pi doesn't have any kind of audio capture setup, I was able to run a command that brought up a loopback audio device (that command is "sudo modprobe snd-aloop") Now, how can I give sox a command to record from the loopback until there's 5 seconds of audio, or should I be looking at a different way of checking if the audio output of the raspberry pi has no sound? Thanks! --James -- View this message in context: http://sox.10957.n7.nabble.com/Sox-recording-to-null-of-an-audio-loopback-tp5749.html Sent from the SoX mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
