Not the foggiest, but it ought to given VLC is available for OS X, and the capture facility is hardware-independent.

LAME is an encoding engine. It has nothing to do with mixing multiple audio files or joining them end to end, it just receives a single, continuous stream of sample and encodes them. For a simple command-line application that can be used to join and mix audio files, see http://sox.sourceforge.net/ ....

How long are short integers on your platform? If they are 8-bits, you will get a lot of noise.

For how audacity uses libsamplerate, see src/Resample.cpp

See http://www.audacityteam.org/wiki/index. ... _Implement for why this isn't possible.

One of the major points of Open Source is that if I've written a piece of software to do something (like an effect), you are free to take that code and use it in your program, thus avoiding duplication of effort. Hence why there is only one major open source MP3 encoder (LAME), one MP3 decoder (libM...

If you can open a stream in VLC, you can just get VLC to transcode it to a local file as it goes (Use the advanced open dialogue, then click the Stream/Save button at the bottom). This bypasses your sound card and audacity completely (just select an appropriate saving format in VLC which you can ope...

Hmm, assuming that if sound recorder dies it exits, I'm sure something could be done about it (while true; do; ...; done), although you have to be careful not to cause an infinite loop if it refuses to start back up again.

In detail, no. I think what you are reporting suggests that the problem is somewhere in envy24control and ALSA rather than audacity. Unfortunately I don't have access to any related sound card, so I can't offer much advice, except that I would expect to be able to get the microphone routed through t...

Audacity uses the version of portaudio in the audacity source tarball, because it has the patch file (lib-src/portmixer/portaudio.patch) applied in order to make certain bits of the internals of portaudio available to portmixer, in order to be able to control the sound card's mixer and set input vol...
