Often, but not always, when you have one of those metafile URIs, you can give the address to mplayer, and let it handle it. e.g. mplayer -playlist http://example.com/playlist.m3u (likewise with various other protocols than HTTP). If that manages to play it, then you can so something similar, adding dumpstream options to the command line. To pipe the output to a file, instead of through the sound hardware. mplayer -dumpfile savedfilename -vc dummy -vo null -dumpstream -playlist http://example.com/streamname.m3u Then, if you want to monitor what's happening, you can play the file being dumped to the drive, *as* it's being dumped, with another instance of mplayer. Just wait a while before issuing the command, so that you've got enough of the stream downloaded to your drive. mplayer savedfilename Messy and convoluted, but I've done that with a radio station stream that was impossible to listen to live (it kept on stuttering). is there a generic procedure to record audio output from sound card in my Fedora Linux 11 ? Well, to answer your query literally, if you want to record the audio that's put out by the card, it is possible to connect a patch lead from the output socket, back to an input socket, and record *that*. Be sure that the input socket doesn't go back through to the output, as well. e.g. Sound card line out to sound card line in. Line in recording volume control turned up sufficiently. Line in monitoring volume control completely off. There were some sound cards that did make it easy to record the output data just by playing with the mixer controls. But if you had one of them, you'd probably have found the controls to play with, by now. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

Question on recording of audio output of steaming websites from sound card in my Fedora Linux 11
Hello all !! I want to record audio output from sound card in my Fedora Linux 11 (from any generic audio source streams). But unable to do so with existing Sound recorder. Nothing gets recorded when i do so. I am playing Shoutcast radio online in my browser and looking at many websites i tried to do some steps on vlc,audacity etc etc. nothing works. Moreover those websites ask me to download the metafile and look for mms,rtsp and stuff like that and the do the recording stuffs. im unable to get those metafiles. Given this case is there a generic procedure to record audio output from sound card in my Fedora Linux 11 ? Any help is really appreciated !!

Moreover those websites ask me to download the metafile and look for mms,rtsp and stuff like that and the do the recording stuffs. im unable to get those metafiles. If your browser can play the stream, you can capture it. However it's not a one-button procedure. You need to check exactly how the stream is being downloaded and figure out how to intercept it. mplayer is pretty good at this once you have the right URI. In fact it even has a specific mode for capturing radio streams. Given this case is there a generic procedure to record audio output from sound card in my Fedora Linux 11 ? No. As I said, recording from the output is not supported. I'm not even sure it makes sense. Also, note that F11 is now unsupported. You should upgrade your system (that won't solve this problem but you should do it anyway). poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Thanks Jan Not the answer to your question, but might be the solution of your problem: You should try mplayer. It can dump the stream to an raw file. -- Calin Key fingerprint = 37B8 0DA5 9B2A 8554 FB2B 4145 5DC1 15DD A3EF E857 = A woman was in love with fourteen soldiers.

FWIW, it can be used with streamtuner (a web radio station finder and tuner) which I have been using for a long time with considerable success. -- cmg -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
