Btw; ecasound can also launch oggenc by itself. To modify oggenc params, you have to edit ~/.ecasound/ecasoundrc (see man ecasoundrc(5) for info). So the above command would be: ecasound -f:16,2,44100 -i alsa -o recording.ogg As another example, to get vu-meter while recording, you can issue: ecasignalview -f:16,2,44100 alsa recording.ogg Ecasignalview, too, comes with the standard ecasound package and thus should be in Gentoo. If you prefer a GUI, try recording with: ecamegapedal alsa recording.ogg Independently of how you do the recording, you always get the benefits of ecasound's realibility features. The key feature is separation of audio and disk processing to separate execution contexts. If this is not done (like is the case with arecord), any burst of disk activity can cause xruns to the recording process. -- http://www.eca.cx Audio software for Linux! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Does your code think in ink?
