The first line of the arecord error output has "cannot find card '0'", this is barely adequate but would have taken me a lot closer to finding my problem. When things work correctly the following line will be displayed on stderr: Recording raw data 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono I think it would be ideal if randomsound would make a pipe for stderr and log (via syslog) all data that doesn't involve a line starting with "Recording raw data". If an error occurs before the daemon properly starts then it could also log the data in question to the sysadmin console. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
