Hi, I'm new to this ML and I'm sorry for my banal topic...and for my bad english! I want to start using Vorbis in my app but the first question I have made myself is: "Is possible to recording from an input device with the vorbis libs? Or the libs is intended for encode/decode only?" Tnx in advance! Regards. Daniele. -- Free As In Freedom

(For example, the output of arecord on GNU/Linux can be piped to the oggenc utility.) We do provide the ogg123 tool which can do playback on most platforms. Most people want to mix live audio before encoding it, which probably explains the difference. I've used the above when I just wanted to record something off the radio, though. Hope that helps, -r

To capture audio from an imput device you have to do something else. If you're planning to be crossplatform you can take a look at PortAudio library ( http://www.portaudio.com/ ) Greetings ... -- Daniel Mario Vega dv5a@dc.uba.ar
