record: invalid option -- '-' record records sound in CD-Quality (44100/16bit/stereo). It has a nice ascii-art input-level meter. It is a interactive curses application. You'll need a fast terminal, don't try this on a 9600 bps vt100... record has several options: -h this text -o file output file basename [record], a number and the .wav extension are added by record. -i ctrl mixer control [line]. This should be the one where you can adjust the record level for your audio source, "line", "mic" and "igain" are good candidates. -m dev set mixer device [/dev/mixer] -d dev set dsp device [/dev/dsp] -r rate set sample rate [44100] -p sec peak seconds [1.5] for non-interactive usage only: -c enable console (non-interactive) mode -v be verbose (show progress) -t mm:ss limit the time to record. By default it records until stopped by a signal (^C) -s size set max file size [2GB]. You have to give number and unit without space inbetween, i.e. "100mb". -n num limit amount of files recorded, quits when reached. -l signal level triggered recording. -L level same as above + specify trigger level [1000]
