The following ALSA config enabled the recording of played sound It is no longer working, any ideas as to why?
None at all, but I'd put money on pulse-audio.
I found the following on the net a while ago (still using F10 then), and successfully used it to record a bit of radio I was listening to through firefox+flash -> pulse-audio. It's slightly tweaked from the one I found, and I don't recall where I found it:
#!/bin/bash # pa-record OUT="$1" if [ -z "$OUT" ]; then echo "Usage: $0 output-file" >&2 exit 1 fi rm -f "$OUT" EXT=${OUT##*.}
# Get sink monitor: MONITOR=$(pactl list | grep -A1 '^*** Source #' | grep '^Name: .*.monitor$' | cut -d" " -f2 | tail -n1)
# Record it raw, and convert to a wav or ogg echo "Recording to $OUT ..." echo "Close this window to stop" if [ "$EXT" == "ogg" ]; then parec --format=s16le -d "$MONITOR" | oggenc --raw --quiet --quality=4 -o "$OUT" - else parec -d "$MONITOR" | sox -t raw -r 44k -sLb 16 -c 2 - "$OUT" fi
Neil,
After some investigation I managed to alter the above script to work for me. Unfortunately it didn't work out of the box, but it was easily put right.
So folks,thanks to Neil here and a bit of geekiness to fix up the script you can record playing sound using pulseaudio.
