Usage: %s [OPTION]... [FILE]... -h, --help help --version print current version -l, --list-devices list all soundcards and digital audio devices -L, --list-pcms list device names -D, --device=NAME select PCM by name -q, --quiet quiet mode -t, --file-type TYPE file type (voc, wav, raw or au) -c, --channels=# channels -f, --format=FORMAT sample format (case insensitive) -r, --rate=# sample rate -d, --duration=# interrupt after # seconds -M, --mmap mmap stream -N, --nonblock nonblocking mode -F, --period-time=# distance between interrupts is # microseconds -B, --buffer-time=# buffer duration is # microseconds --period-size=# distance between interrupts is # frames --buffer-size=# buffer duration is # frames -A, --avail-min=# min available space for wakeup is # microseconds -R, --start-delay=# delay for automatic PCM start is # microseconds (relative to buffer size if <= 0) -T, --stop-delay=# delay for automatic PCM stop is # microseconds from xrun -v, --verbose show PCM structure and setup (accumulative) -V, --vumeter=TYPE enable VU meter (TYPE: mono or stereo) -I, --separate-channels one file for each channel -i, --interactive allow interactive operation from stdin -m, --chmap=ch1,ch2,.. Give the channel map to override or follow --disable-resample disable automatic rate resample --disable-channels disable automatic channel conversions --disable-format disable automatic format conversions --disable-softvol disable software volume control (softvol) --test-position test ring buffer position --test-coef=# test coefficient for ring buffer position (default 8) expression for validation is: coef * (buffer_size / 2) --test-nowait do not wait for ring buffer - eats whole CPU --max-file-time=# start another output file when the old file has recorded for this many seconds --process-id-file write the process ID here --use-strftime apply the strftime facility to the output file name --dump-hw-params dump hw_params of the device --fatal-errors treat all errors as fatal

The available format shortcuts are:

Unable to parse channel map string: %s

Warning: format is changed to %s

Channel numbers don't match between hw_params and channel map

Warning: unable to get channel map

Channel %d doesn't match with hw_parmas

HW Params of device "%s":

fatal %s: %s

-p,--port # : specify TCP port (digit or service name)

Unable to set channel map: %s

Values 1=Left, 2=right, etc -w,--wavfile Use the given WAV file as a test sound -W,--wavdir Specify the directory containing WAV files -m,--chmap Specify the channel map to override -X,--force-frequency force frequencies outside the 30-8000hz range -S,--scale Scale of generated test tones in percent (default=80)
