[This message has also been posted to linux.debian.user.] A friend of mine uses a "user friendly" Windoze box to record (with permission) radio shows in background, on a predetermined schedule. It's the last thing he still needs Windoze for.
We'd like to replace that setup with a cron-driven shell script on his Sarge box. According to the Linux Sound HOWTO, which seems unmaintained, I can get raw samples from /dev/dsp0 with dd. This works on about half the sound cards/motherboards I've tried. I suspect the rest have some kind of mixer issue, or maybe the codecs just aren't wired right on those motherboards. But once we have that raw samples file, we don't know how to make a usable MP3 out of it. Searching with Google, I find a lot of people asking the same question, and people barking one-word "answers" at them, that don't lead anywhere. Is there anything in Debian that can take a raw samples file and turn it into an MP3? Has some other form of documentation replaced the collection of HOWTOs at TLDP.org? Thanks.
