I am currently using 0.9.0beta12 but am totally unable to get a
recording from the S/PDIF input (from a DAT recorded at 44.1KHz). If
I use
arecord -f cd -t wav -d 10 xxx.wav
then I get 10 seconds of silence. Yes I have unmuted the S/PDIF
inputs, and I can play back to the analog outputs.
If I try to us a 'Device' (for which i have never managed to find any
readable documentation) I get
arecord -f cd -t wav -d 10 -D iec958 xxx.wav
Recording WAVE 'xxx.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
arecord: set_params:739: Sample format non available
(btw, should that read "Not available"). I guess this means that the
device is an output rather than input device, but I do not know.
I have asked this many times now, but i am still having to reboot to
Windoze just to read the DAT tapes and that is a pain,
I do not have a .asoundrc; this is straight out of the box.
