Recording from microphone on Linux

I'm searching for a lib or a program to get input from a microphone.
The lib could be c written too, and i could interface it with BlitzMax.

If you can get portaudio working on linux its probably *just* what you want

Its working on Mac and Windows for Max
The C samples work in Linux, but I've had problems opening a stream with Max, I havent had chance to investigate further
due to time presures maybe you'd like to have a look?

do portaudio record from mic? this is the only thing i would need.
however, poring on Linux depends on which system apis does it use.

it allows you to stream either input or output or both

it doesn't work with Linux.
any other idea?

The C samples work fine...

I'm sure with a bit of messing round the max module could work too, when I get time I look, how far did you get?

i need that lib in a little time.

i think the problem is that i use alsa.

i saw on your website that you programmed some text2speech apps.
does it work on Linux too?

i use festival for that.
now i'm program a speech recognition lib.

have you tryied some speech recognition?

I got the portaudio module working with Linux yesterday, will upload hopefully by tomorrow.

neat thx skid!

Where will you upload the module?

Have you put it online?

...SyncMods...

portaudio on syncmods?
what do you mean?
i've tryied to syncmod but there weren't new modules.

you have to sync mods for axe.portaudio, but he hasnt uploaded a changed version sinve v1.1 as far as I can see

syncmods -u username -p pass axe.portaudio

it doesn't do anything...

I think its only on the win modserver?

maybe.
i'll try downloading it on windows, but how for Linux?

yes, on win it works, but the downloaded module is only win and mac compatible.

@skidracer: have you put the module on Linux mod servers?

Apologies, given skids previous post and that it had appeared on the win server, I assumed it would be on the Linux server too.

i didn't found it.
however i'm not at my vomputer now, so i'll try tomorrow.

I've tryied, but it still doesn't work.
