Open Sound System

Yeah it works! I would have to be more acurate and realize we do have the nice -D option on ossmix that yelds the full card values... OSS rocks! I would put the thread as SOLVED. Out of curiosity... Do you know guys what is the span for the values? is it fixed? varies with the sound card?... I guess...

:o You rock man! I though ossmix values were just settings... not actual vu values... I have to test it tomorrow, but provide it work, I thing I could manage to have a very spartan, shell scrip based, silence detector... I thing it would be even possible to write a munin plugin to display an average...

At first seems it is gonna be harder than I thought...
