dsprec is a program that reads samples from the /dev/dsp device and outputs them to standard output.It allows you to specify the sample rate, word size, and number of channels.

dsprec was written for FreeBSD. It also works with Linux. It might work with other UNIX systems too. If you make it work on another OS, please tell me so I can mention it here.

This is a typical usage:

dsprec rate 44100 bits 16 channels 2 > outfile.raw

Sample rate, word size, and number of channels are untouched if they are not specified. You should always specify them.

Installation

cd /usr/local/src
fetch http://tomclegg.net/software/dsprec-0.2.tar.gz
tar xzf dsprec-0.2.tar.gz
cd dsprec-0.2
make
make install

You need sound support (device pcm) in your kernel in order to run dsprec.
