May I suggest you read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy The gist: This is usually abridged to "Write programs that do one thing and do it well." For a laugh have a read of: http://www.webaugur.com/bazaar/53-what-if-operating-systems-were-airlines.html > I do know about audacity, nice to learn there is a copy in debian. > But there are times when I wish to say at sound cloud, capture the > audio of a file I cannot download, or capture an audio stream, or > capture if the audio is embedded, or in a video when I do not want > the video etc. Then use another program/tool. Once you know exactly what you want to do then it is a matter of just finding the right tool to do it. > I can do all these things as a part of audio hijack pro, which is > why my subject line was capturing audio in debian. > After all when I first asked about installing, everything, meaning I > suppose I could hunt through the pile, many suggested otherwise. > so, again, is there a single program that puts all the functions > into one place? Too be honest, I don't know. For individual tasks there are many: mplayer (search for capturing audio with mplayer) e.g. http://rafaelwolf.com/?p=307 etc. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
