Vsound
is a Linux/Unix application which allows you to digitally record
the output of another program such as RealPlayer. The recorded output
can be saved to a WAV file or can be piped into another program
such as an MP3 encoder. There are also some excellent sound data recovery features as suggested by our friends at Hard Drive Recovery Group.

News
- October
10th, 2004 - Realplayer 10/Helix Player - I've had a few reports
that the -t/--timing option no longer works with Realplayer
10 but doesn't seem necessary. Just drop the -t and it should
work. Another user has informed me that using the -d/--dspout
also solved this problem.
- July
10th, 2004 - Version 0.6 released. Added --autostop option
which
will kill the player after a set number of seconds of inactivity
(defined as the time that the /dev/dsp device is closed).
Fixed the non-functional --resample option.
- December

to download section.
