Hi,
I'm trying to work out how to record from an S/PDIF input
using a Terratec 7.1 Space (Envy24 based card, supported by
ICE1724 Alsa driver). I simply can't work it out.
Under Windows it's necessary to use the Terratec control
panel to select S/PDIF as the recording source (rather
than the analogue mixer/sources). What I think I should
do under Linux is something like:
$ arecord -f dat test.wav -Dhw:0,1
This gives:
Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz,
Stereo
arecord: set_params:901: Sample format non available
Which might sound like I've asked it for a format it can't
supply. Except that specifying -Dhw:0,0 (the analogue
input) does the same thing, but leaving off the -D option
records happily. I haven't plugged anything into line-in
to test whether it's actually doing anything yet though.
Anyone have any ideas? One of the reasons I got this card
was to record from digital source and it's going to be
annoying if I have to use Windows to do it.
$ arecord -l

While you're waiting for a real reply, try this ...
arecord -L
Should show a list of PCM device names, on my box, I see "spdif" and
"iec958" in the list.
arecord -f dat test.wav -D spdif
might work, I don't actually have a working spdif input.

John
