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 mixing 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 available.)

       -d     Print out debug messages to console.  (Default: debugging disabled.)

       -h     Print summary of available options.

       -l     Audio input is a line-in source.  (Default: input is a microphone source.)  source.)

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

       -r rate
              Input data is sampled at rate Hertz.  (Default: 44100Hz.)

       -s     Send output data to stdout.  (Default: Send output to dbfsd.)  dbfsd.
