I should have been more specific with my question and subject line: I don't see where aucat's "-f device" values are documented.
Googling finds old (google-cached) current.html pages, circa 2009, suggesting using 'aucat -f sun:1' for /dev/audio1. However, this at first failed: $ aucat -f sun:1 -m rec -o /tmp/test.wav sio(sun:1|): busy loop, disconnecting A bit more googling finds this post[1] suggesting addition of "-z 256" to aucat, which seems to make things work. $ aucat -z 256 -f sun:1 -o /tmp/test.wav ^C --patrick [1] http://old.nabble.com/aucat-bug-in-4.8-beta-i386---td29333138.html On Sat, Feb 18, 2012 at 4:59 PM, patrick keshishian <pkesh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can someone point me to some docs explaining how I can record off of a > uaudio device I plugged in? > > [after plugging in uaudio device] > uaudio0 at uhub0 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0 "E-MU Systems, > Inc.
