Date: 9 Jun 1997 17:34:52 GMT Organization: Sun Microsystems Inc., Mountain View, CA Lines: 16 Distribution: world Message-ID: <5nhers$d0m@jethro.Corp.Sun.COM> Reply-To: myers@iname.com NNTP-Posting-Host: concord.corp.sun.com Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:42662 Thanks to many who answered my questions regarding digital audio extraction, CD-ROM writing, and the 4Front OSS drivers. I now have a working and reliable audio system in my FreeBSD box. Just one more question: I'd like to use my soundcard to sample old analog audio tracks (tapes and vinyl LPs) and write the data onto an audio CD. I tried things like reading from /dev/audio and outputting to a file, and this does work in some sense (i.e., some kind of sound gets recorded), but how is the data formatted? Is there a better way? Procedures for line-in recording would be greatly appreciated. -David
