Anticipating getting the radio working, I've spent many hours now trying to figure out how to record from it.
cat /dev/radioX > file.mpg works, but gives an MPEG file with no video. I want a wav file or something that I can convert to mp3. My motherboard sound (Intel ICH7), according to ALSA (amixer), only captures from front and rear Mic, Line In and CD. As far as I can tell, the radio signal is in the PCM device, but I can't figure out how to record it. I've been trying to understand ALSA plugins (for ~/.asoundrc) but nothing has clicked yet. Here's my amixer output in case there's something I missed.
