I finally got to recording some tapes onto CD's (for some friends, hard to find tapes / CD's). Originally, I could not record full 16-bit 44100 sound from my sound card , as when it flushed the sound to disk, it would get a bufer overflow problem. So, I recorded some tapes in 8-bit 44100 sound, but I wanted all 16-bits. So , I built a cheasy interim system, called cachewrite, which essentiall is a middle process that reads from a pipe, stores it in memory, then flushes it all at once. However, the middle program I built isn't that good, but the idea is Great, I believe, so: 1) Is their a way to do this already in a shell command? 2) Can anyone look at my garbage code, and let me know how to get it a bit faster (I'm reading and writing one Byte at a time!!!) The code is un-documented and not good, but I really liked the results (WIthout X running, I can record 5 minutes of CD-sound into memory). As opposed to attachments, I've dumped the stuff into a directory: http://www.dlcwest.com/~jed/cachewrite/ Cheers, and please give me some feedback!!! Also, 1 stupid question: 1) How do you redirect sterr ???
