Hello,
by fiddling around I'm a step further now, but there are strange things: The spdif in on the Audiophle indeed does work. But in order to capture the digital input stream in a wav file I have to give the command (the -v can be omitted of course) arecord -v -c 12 -f S16_LE -r 44100 test.wav Substituting the "-f S16_LE -r 44100" by "-f cd" does NOT work and produces an empty file (huh?!). Further examination of the recorded file showed that channels 1-8 are completely empty, and the audio data is in channels 9, 10, 11, 12. The alsamixer doesn't help. This is the reason why a simple command with -c2 doesn't work. Arecord then would take channels 1 and 2, and they are empty. Well, what should I do with a 12-channel audio file? I simply want the stereo spdif input in a stereo wav file, 2 channels. Can arecord pick up selected channels, here 9-12? Or 11 and 12? And aplay doesn't play the files produced by itself this way... :-( Thanks, Peter ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
