NAME
dbin - Connect sound card input to DB Fourier Synthesis daemon
SYNOPSIS
dbin [options]
DESCRIPTION
The dbin tool allows to connect a sound card’s input channel to dbfsd.
Both dbin and dbfsd are part of the DBMix project, a digital audio mix‐
ing system. dbin is needed to mix in data from a microphone, or from
an external audio device plugged into the line-in jack.
The audio device used by dbin must support full-duplex operation.
Also, this device must not be used for the master or cue output of
dbfsd. Otherwise, dbin will output but an empty audio stream.
OPTIONS
-8 Input data comprises of PCM-coded 8bit unsigned samples.
(Default: 16bit signed samples.)
-a dev Connect to audio device dev. (Default: /dev/dsp.)
-c n Connect to channel n of dbfsd. (Default: first channel avail‐
able.)
-d Print out debug messages to console. (Default: debugging dis‐
abled.)
-h Print summary of available options.
-l Audio input is a line-in source. (Default: input is a micro‐

-m Input data is a mono stream. (Default: interleaved stereo

-r rate
Input data is sampled at rate Hertz. (Default: 44100Hz.)
-s Send output data to stdout. (Default: Send output to dbfsd.)
