First “public” release for alsa-backup
Monday, September 28th, 2009For 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.
