First “public” release for alsa-backup

Monday, September 28th, 2009

For a long time, we’re using continuous recording tools to record our radio broadcasts. Many of these tools were homemade and alsa-backup is the latest project of this “serie” (after jack-backup and just-record).

alsa-backup can :

  • record several channels,
  • change record file according your naming policy (… without a blank),
  • run as daemon,
  • log into syslog,
  • stop record and retry after errors

And many other features are coming :) This piece of Ruby code is more flexible than just-record. It uses the awesome ruby-ffi library which allows to use C libraries with few lines of ruby code.

alsa-backup is available as debian/ubuntu packages on Tryphon’s debian repository. Source files are available in GitHub alsa-backup repository.

Support de Logiciels Libres et Radios Libres aux RMLL 2008

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Voici les quelques 40 slides de la présentation Logiciels Libres et Radios Libres réalisée cet après-midi aux RMLL 2008.

Elle est évidemment basée sur la version présentée à Sophia.

La nouveauté est principalement la présentation (rapide) de notre projet Bonnes Ondes, qui se propose de réaliser sans peine le site de votre émission de radio. C’est encore un projet en cours de “maturation”, mais il est fonctionnel et n’attend que vos retours.

Pour reprendre certaines questions durant la présentation, nous utilisons donc maintenant JustRecord pour les captations, et les sources d’AudioBank sont accessibles depuis le Trac d’AudioBank.

Un grand merci à Alexis Lahouze et l’équipe des RMLL pour l’acceuil.

Divergence FM couvre les RMLL 2008, ca ressemble à de la radio éphémère tout ça :-)

JustRecord : a tool to record

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

For many years, we’re using various tools to perform long recordings : record (from xawtools), an home-patched jack-record, arecord+split, rotter, etc.

To record Esperanzah lives or Forum PHP 2007 conferences, we used our ugly (but efficient) arecord+split script. But it’s really a tool which can be shared with other teams.

So we’ve just started a dedicated tool to perform long recordings : JustRecord. These few lines of python can record in loop via alsa, run as daemon, log with syslog and execute an external script when a file is ended, etc. Tiny but usefull ;-) And many features will follow.
