Hi Guys It must be the most frequent plainted cry, sorry! If anybody can offer any help, guidence or criticism I would be most grateful.
I've spent the last month trying to build a recording system. Mostly I fail to record audio, although a few times it has worked. (the identical same record script and from a clean reboot) Base distro has been ubuntu (latest ie karmic aka 9.10) suse 11.1 and suse 11.2. Although pulse audio has complicated the matter it does not have a definite effect, some times working, sometimes not. My video in (always works) is a v4l osprey 100 card. Audio is line in on the sound card. This is my reference record script: #!/bin/sh # strace -o trace /usr/bin/transcode -q 2 \ # -F mpeg4 /usr/bin/transcode -q 2 \ -x v4l2 \ -g 640x480 \ -i /dev/video0 \ -p /dev/dsp \ -N 0x1 \ -Q 5 \ -w 1000 \ -y ffmpeg,tcaud \ -F mjpeg \ -o /home/jam/recording.avi always aplay /dev/dsp works (I hear the sound) pulse has been installed and not installed. The probe of /dev/dsp is always [ok] My next step is to build transcode and debug (gdb) to see why the audio is not recorded. Any suggestions before that adventure? Thanks James
