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.
