NAME

dbin - Connect sound card input to DB Fourier Synthesis daemon

SYNOPSIS

dbin [options]

DESCRIPTION

The dbin tool allows to connect a sound card's input channel to dbfsd. Both dbin and dbfsd are part of the DBMix project, a digital audio mixing system. dbin is needed to mix in data from a microphone, or from an external audio device plugged into the line-in jack.

The audio device used by dbin must support full-duplex operation. Also, this device must not be used for the master or cue output of dbfsd. Otherwise, dbin will output but an empty audio stream.

OPTIONS

Input data comprises of PCM-coded 8bit unsigned samples. (Default: 16bit signed samples.)

-a dev

-c n

Connect to channel n of dbfsd. (Default: first channel available.)

-d
