The waveinput plugin plays an "URL" with the form wavin:xxxx where xxxx
is the device designator (e.g. ALSA sysdefault:CARD=PCH or plughw:0,0)
you want to play. The plugin can be invoked as many times as you have
players each with a different device - it usually invoked using a
"wavin:xyxyxy" type URLs saved as Favorites.
The difficult part of the plugin is getting the "right" device and the
"right" playing executable as it may be different dependin on the audio
subsystem.
You must spend time getting the right command and device to capture your
audio input and save into a WAV format on a command line otherwise you
will waste time if you try to use the plugin first on a trial and error
basis.
for example - the default ALSA custom-convert.conf uses arecord
Code:
--------------------
# wavin
#
wavin pcm * *
# R
[arecord] -d0 -c2 -f S16_LE -r 44100 -traw -D $FILE$
wavin mp3 * *
# RB:{BITRATE=-B %B}
[arecord] -d0 -c2 -f S16_LE -r 44100 -twav -D $FILE$ | [lame] --silent
-q $QUALITY$ -v $BITRATE$ - -
wavin flc * *
# R
[arecord] -d0 -c2 -f S16_LE -r 44100 -twav -D $FILE$ | [flac] -cs
--totally-silent --compression-level-0 -
--------------------
whereas pulseaudio will use parec
Code:
--------------------
#
# wavin
#
wavin pcm * *
# R
[parec] --channels=2 --format=s16le --rate=44100 --file-format=raw -D
$FILE$
wavin mp3 * *
# RB:{BITRATE=-B %B}
[parec] --file-format=wav -d $FILE$ | [lame] --silent -q $QUALITY$ -v
$BITRATE$ - -
wavin flc * *
# R
[nc] -l $FILE$
