Public bug reported:
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)..
