Re: frequency analysis with alsa and fftw

["Markus Vogl" <markus.vogl@gmx.net>]

hi,

i have to do this in realtime (like a guitartuner) and with my "project" i
have to see the frequency shift in realtime in a terminal window.

regards
markus

Why do you need to do ALSA programming in the first place? Isn't it enough
to use any given ALSA-capable audio recorder (eg. arecord) to record some
sound, convert it to raw PCM data (eg. cut off the WAV
header) and then shift all the data into the FFT lib?
