[mp6017]

Hi everybody,

have one question "How can i record voice in linux". I am using FC4. i would be happy if you could write a sample code. My wish is to do some thing like this

>>program voice.wav
!!!!----- records a voice from mic to "voice.wav"
>>xine voice.wav

and i hear it.

Plase help me

i think sox is what you need. man sox should provide more information. also, if you have alsa installed you can use arecord.

apparently i didn't understand correctly the first time...you don't want an app that records wavs, you want to write one. well i guess you could look at the sox source code and get an idea, but i think you need a library to include in your app. maybe you should ask in the programming section. good luck.

look at arecord

and the arecord source code.

Hi,

i looked at internet and at alsa and i could not find source for arecord. There is code for aplay, amixer ... but no for arecord. Can any body help me?

Thx
