How to capture audio using v4l2

[Charlie X. Liu]

In the newer 2.6 and 3.x.y Linux kernels, the audio devices should be as
ALSA <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture>
devices. Then, you would see them like hw:x,0. 

For example, if you use a Sensoray Model 811
<http://www.sensoray.com/products/811.htm>  or Model 812
<http://www.sensoray.com/products/812.htm>  / Model 1012
<http://www.sensoray.com/products/1012.htm> , you could use following
GSTreamer commands to capture audio from different channels:

 

$ gst-launch-0.10 alsasrc device=hw:1,0 !
audio/x-raw-int,rate=32000,channels=2,depth=16 ! audioconvert! autoaudiosink

  ( pre-listening, from audio Channel-1 )

 

$ gst-launch-0.10 alsasrc device=hw:2,0 ! wavenc ! filesink
location=./audio-ch2.wav

  ( capturing raw audio, from audio Channel-2, and saving the data into a
.wav file )

 

$ gst-launch-0.10 alsasrc device=hw:3,0 ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux
! filesink location=./audio-ch3.ogg

  ( capturing audio, from audio Channel-3, encoding with vorbis and saving
the data into an .ogg file )

 

$ gst-launch-0.10 alsasrc device=hw:4,0 ! audio/x-raw-int,rate=
32000,channels=2,depth=16 ! audioconvert! avimux ! 

filesink location=./audio-ch4.avi

  ( capturing raw audio, from audio Channel-4, using avi muxer and saving
the audio data into an .avi file )

Hi,

 

I'm wondering to capture audio from a device which supports v4l2. I dont
quite see any audio/x-raw caps in v4l2src element

 

Can someone please explain?
