linux sound recorder for non duplex card (dell latitude d930 with an intel hda audio)

 

Dear SR and friends,

While non of my latitude laptops with the primitive ac97 failt to record via soundrecord, which normally records the output from the soundcard directly to a file, the new latitude d930 has an intel hda card with stac, as listed below.

yazdzik@deblap1:~$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: SigmaTel STAC9205
Codec: Conexant ID 2c06
yazdzik@deblap1:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: STAC92xx Digital [STAC92xx Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
yazdzik@deblap1:~$


Dell informed me that the card is not "full duplex"(!) which is clear, since I cannot use sound recorder in windows either.

Arguendo I wish to record, for argument's sake, the sound from a youtube video, or a broadcast of one song on something like lastfm, how can I do this, since most of the software is windows.

Dropping the url from an embedded object on lastfm into mplayer orr vlc of course cannot work.

There seems to be no linux equivalent of a programme to record all the various stream formats and save them to file.

Any ideas?

Thanking you in advance,

martin

Freeware Freecorder Toolbar (Windows) works with ANY sound card, even those that don't support recording (like RealTek and SigmaTel).

Capturing/Saving/Downloading/Ripping/Recording MP3 music stream from Last.FM in Linux

As for youtube videos, record them and then try to find software to extract mp3s from flv files.

Thanks - that does, indeed, work perfectly in windows - any linux equivalent or substitute?

Best,
