** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues #822 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/822 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660504 Title: pacat --file-format option doesn't work Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: pulseaudio When I want to record audio with pacat I run a command like this: $ pacat -r outfile This works, but if I want the output file to have a specific format other than raw, e.g. WAV or AU format, the man page states that I can use "--file-format=FFORMAT". But this doesn't work, it always just creates an empty file and then prints "Failed to open audio file." Like this: $ pacat -r --file-format=wav outfile.wav Failed to open audio file. $ ls -l outfile.wav -rw-r--r-- 1 th th 0 2010-10-14 13:23 outfile.wav Pretty useless error message too, if you ask me, because obviously it succeeded in opening the file (since it was created)..
