Hello.
I'm trying to capture sound from a website. Sound comes from flash player,
so I can't use mplayer.
It seems the only solution is to capture the sound from the sound card,
but after much googling and experimenting for hours, I can't do it.
Would anyone please help?
Basically, I understand that I should select some "correct" combination
of settings in alsamixer to capture sound.
Then say something "like"
arecord -f cd -t wav -D hw:0,0 foobar.wav
Then I should launch the page which plays the flash stream.
When the sound plays, it will be captured.
But all I get is noise in foobar.wav.
My first problem is alsamixer. I activated "capture" in the "Capture" slide
I have, and raised this slide's volume to 100%. Then I activated "capture"
in the "Line" slide, and raised its volume too (77%). Then try to launch the
sound. Nothing. Changing "Line" with "CD", "Mic", and the other possibities
available, gave same result.
I tried arecord, and ecasound (ecasound -i alsahw,0,0 -o somefile.wav).
Nothing.
There must be something terribly wrong with what I'm doing, because I
haven't been able to capture other sounds either. I played a movie with
mplayer, while I was trying to capture (in some combination of settings),
and I got sound via mplayer, and noise in the wav file.
Also, the flash player page displays a bar to indicate it's loading the
page, and when it's ready, starts playing, and indicates the minutes+seconds
played until now. If I try to capture, though, only the initial bar is
displayed, until it shows the page has loaded, but then no indication of
actual playing.
I'm using sarge, alsa-driver-1.0.1:
lspci | grep audio
0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER
(ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
Any ideas welcome. I'm considering of doing this with a mike
and a cassette recorder...
Regards,
Victor
