[FFmpeg-user] Bug in FFMPEG Alsa?

[christina zou]

Hi Carl (and all),

Well, I can't remove the -acodec pcm_s32le option. If I just run:

ffmpeg -f alsa -i mic_sv temp.wav

'[alsa @ 0x243b3f0] cannot set sample format 0x10000 2 (Invalid argument)
mic_sv: Input/output error'

I already made sure the arecord and ffmpeg PCM options are identical. I
have just written a custom ALSA hook ('michooks') in ffmpeg that dumps all
the PCM settings. Here is the result:

1. arecord -v -r48000 -c2 -fS32_LE --period-size=16384
--buffer-size=65536 -Dmic_sv -twav /dev/null

Uses 5% CPU. Console output:  http://vpaste.net/CPk3A

2. ALSA_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf:./dumpasoundrc ffmpeg -f
alsa -acodec pcm_s32le -i michooks -f  null -

Uses 95% CPU. Console output: http://vpaste.net/xSvae

You can see that I've configured arecord/FFMPEG to have identical
settings (buffer sizes, period sizes, etc.)


Any thoughts? Thank you,

Christina
