[vorbis] Encode on fly from device?

[Jared Anderson]

I have a little function for recording from my radio (connected to line
in) that uses alsa's mixer and arecord, you might find it useful:

  function radiorec() 
  {
    amixer sset Line,0 85%,85% unmute captura
    arecord -f cd -t wav - | oggenc -q 3 -o $1.ogg -
  }

To use it I just issue radiorec filename at a prompt.  

Cheers,
  J
