None at all, but I'd put money on pulse-audio.
I found the following on the net a while ago (still using F10 then), and
successfully used it to record a bit of radio I was listening to through
firefox+flash -> pulse-audio. It's slightly tweaked from the one I found,
and I don't recall where I found it:
#!/bin/bash
# pa-record
OUT="$1"
if [ -z "$OUT" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 output-file" >&2
exit 1
fi
rm -f "$OUT"
EXT=${OUT##*.}
# Get sink monitor:
MONITOR=$(pactl list | grep -A1 '^\*\*\* Source #' | grep '^Name:
.*\.monitor$' | cut -d" " -f2 | tail -n1)
# Record it raw, and convert to a wav or ogg
echo "Recording to $OUT ..."
echo "Close this window to stop"
if [ "$EXT" == "ogg" ]; then
parec --format=s16le -d "$MONITOR" | oggenc --raw --quiet --quality=4
-o "$OUT" -
else
parec -d "$MONITOR" | sox -t raw -r 44k -sLb 16 -c 2 - "$OUT"
fi
