Haven't tested it so YMMV(VM). Replace the &quot;amixer&quot; commands with the command that takes a cam shot. The time of barking will be the time stamp of the camera capture file.

Unable to find suitable alternative, ended up using goldwave and a decibel recording trigger. Coupled with an exported list of cue points to create graphical data.

Hello, <br />
<br />
I've just purchased a GuruPlug Plus, which I intend to install Ubuntu on. <br />
<br />
Does anyone know of a compatible audio monitoring programme? <br />
<br />
I would like to monitor the sound levels produced from a usb Mic input. (The basic idea is to monitor a barking dog and when its sound levels are over a certain volume take a picture with the webcam &amp;&nbsp;record the time that the barking occurs) <br />
<br />
I've found an example programme that does this in Windows (Audio Zone &nbsp;Trigger ) but can't find one of a similar functionality for Linux. <br />
<br />
I've never used Linux before either ... so I'm sure thats going to make it a tad harder! <br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />
<br />
Josh

Mic Monitoring Software

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.
