Bug Description
Hi,
Seem to me it is impossible to record raw audio of 16 bit signed little endian, 2 channel 44100kHz with oggenc, under precise at least.
According to
http://
http://
it should be as simple as
oggenc --raw -o test.ogg -
However, that always gives me the following error:
Encoding standard input to
"test.ogg"
at quality 3.00
Stream error: Invalid argument
Done encoding file "test.ogg"
File length: 0m 00.0s
Elapsed time: 0m 00.0s
Rate: 0.0000
Average bitrate: inf kb/s
It's been working before according to the listed sources, could it be a bug of oggenc in precise?
can you try it with your release please?
BTW, to get the correct MONITOR device, use this
MONITOR=$(pactl list | egrep -A2 '^(\*\*\* )?Source #' | \
Name: .*\.monitor$' | awk '{print $NF}' | tail -n1)

Thanks

I don't think this is a bug of vorbis-tools, but either a bug of parec (or some underlying library) or a user error.
Both the content of the error message and the moment in which it appears suggest that the message actually comes from parec instead of oggenc. I grepped the source code of oggenc and neither the string "Invalid argument" nor "Stream error" appear anywhere. However, a web search revealed that parec does produce that message on occasion [1] [2] [3]. However, I'm not sure, if it is parec directly. Some results suggest that the message comes from pulseaudio.
Have you tried piping to something different than oggenc? Or reading from a different device?
Piping from parec to oggenc works flawlessly on my Ubuntu 14.04 system for reading from both a real input device and a monitor:
parec -d alsa_output.
parec -d alsa_input.
Cheers,
Martin
