NAME
recordwav - Record .wav format file
SYNOPSIS
recordwav [-nc:1|2] wave_file
DESCRIPTION
recordwav
is an extremely simple audiorecording facility which
produces an output file in local .wav format (i.e., a file that can be
displayed and edited with edw and associated programs). Once started,
the program immediately begins putting data into the output file and
stops only when ^C is entered from the keyboard. Record levels and
sampling rates must be adjusted independently with a gaintool or audio
control panel prior to running recordwav.
Options
Because of the limited telephone quality Sparc codec, there
are no options accepted for the Sparc version of recordwav;
signals are always recorded as single channel 8 kHz data.
However, the u_law encoded samples received from the Sparc
codec are converted to linear 16-bit data before being saved
to disk. Options available on SGI machines (Indys and probably
Indigos with Irix 5.x) are:
- -nc:n
- Number of input channels to read and save. The arguement
n should be either 1 or 2, default is 1.
