Hi everybody, I was trying to pipe vsound's standard output into LAME for directly encoding a realaudio stream into an mp3 file, but the -s option of vsound does not seem to work. I need direct encoding because I cannot afford the big WAV files that come out of vsound.
I'm running a Mandrake 9.1 on a dual Athlon system, with KDE as window manager. The ARTS sound system is running. In the first place there was a bug in the vsound script about vsound not being able to use both 'verbose' (though not invoked) option and the -s option, but I fixed it. Even so, while vsound runs perfectly with a wav file, it does not when trying to pipe its ouput, not even when redirecting its standard output to a regular file, e.g. vsound -s trplayer -q -n -t 120 \ http://www.radio.rai.it/live/radio1.ram > foo I tried to ask the same question to the vsound developer, but got no reply so far. Could anybody help me, perhaps with some script that could work out on my system? Thank you very much, bye Silvio a Beccara - Italy
