Easy, mencoder, which comes in the mplayer package. It has exactly the
same syntax as mplayer, just that you won't need the -vc, -vo, and -ao
options in mencoder; instead just specify -o thefile.mp3 and -oac
toolame (I personally use mp3lame, but seeing that you used toolame
yourself :P) The -novideo option is probably useful as well. Just
check out the mplayer/mencoder man page, it has everything.

Hi Sonia,
I had a quick look at:

does this help at all?

[SLUG] IDE drives changing from /dev/hdx to /dev/sdx (on Ubuntu)
Hi, Can anyone lucidly explain the whys and hows of this change? Is this a SCSI emulation thing or what? I know that Ubuntu 7.04 introduced this, which became a problem and broke a lot of people's /etc/fstab. If you were lucky enough to have drives referenced by their UUID, you were safe. A server that we installed with 7.04 though came up with the hd as /dev/hda. When we did the 7.10 gutsy upgrade though it became /dev/sda (luckily the UUID was the reference, though the upgrade doesn't change the comments written in /etc/fstab. Anyway under 7.04 I had used hdparm to force on DMA as well as set the udma level from 2 to 4 - to optimise disk I/O performance. However hdparm now under 7.10 seems not to want to talk to /dev/sda properly. I get the following result that used to work [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/sda /dev/sda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo hdparm -X udma4 /dev/sda /dev/sda: setting xfermode to 68 (UltraDMA mode4) SG_IO: bad/missing ATA_16 sense data:: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Input/output error The problem is that I notice that I get a heck of a lot of CPU WAIT time happening when doing I/O to the disk, presumably because DMA isn't working. (BTW I looked at sdparm but it seems to be a totally different animal) I have added a comment to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96693. It seems that there is no definitive technical description of this migration. I sort of wonder how thoroughly it has been thought through or tested. Anyone here care to comment?

[SLUG] How to provide multiple remote desktops on CentOS 5?
Hello, I've setup a CentOS 5 headless server for our developers. I'd like to provide each one of them with their own desktop. Back in the olden days it would have been done using XDMCP and having an X server on the desktop, but today with Windows desktops, moving between laptops and desktops, and at least one of the developers working regularly from home over and ADSL line and VPN, the recommendation I get is to use NX or VNC. Is there a standard practice to provide each of our developers a way to open up their own X11 desktop in a convenient way? Right now the only way I can think off is to run multiple x-VNC desktops and allocate each one of them to a separate user, but I'm still groping my way through the NX stuff.

Re: [SLUG] How to provide multiple remote desktops on CentOS 5?
Amos, I have used the vnc server and inetd like this in the past with good success. jdub posted about this as well some time ago. http://lists.slug.org.au/archives/slug/2001/August/msg00730.html it may need some tweaking as inetd is deprecated, and has been replaced by xinetd.
