Recorder

[mack]

Has anyone played with the recorder application ?

I want to record from a script. So far, I did it by reading from /dev/dsp and using sox (with libgsm) to compress the audio into gsm format. The problem is that occasionally soundmanager changes the rate of the device, and messes up my own recorder. /dev/mixer doesn't work as expected and I'm unable to fix the rate without aborting the current recording.

I guess the right thing to do is to record through soundmanager rather than directly from /dev/dsp, by using the recorder application. However, I'm missing two pieces:

1. Anyone knows how to control the recorder externally ? (probably by some socket messages). I want to be able to start/stop recording from the script.

2. Recorder tends to stop recording on some occasions such as when a phone call is started/finished, or when flip is closed. Any way to tell it not to stop, other than by hijacking the messages it gets from tapisrv ?

/dev/dsp is the microphone?
