I am trying to capture sound card output and encode it in Vorbis ogg format using the following command:
arecord -f cd -t raw | oggenc - -r -o file.ogg However, the computer's microphone input is recorded rather than the sound card output. The output of the command arecord -l is
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 The output of the command arecord -L is contained in this pastebin entry. The arecord man page indicates that the input device can be selected using the -D flag, but gives no syntactical examples. I would like to know how to change the input for arecord from the microphone to the sound card. I am not interested in GUI-based alternatives such as Audacity. Thanks. Edit: I am running Debian 7.0 (stable) with arecord version 1.0.25, vorbis-tools version 1.4.0, and ALSA driver version 1.0.24.
