Multimedia tips.
Here's a couple of tips for you multimedia lovers.
I was looking for a program to record various forms of sound input (audio streams, mic input etc) and i found a nice program called mp3record. It's a cli program but really easy to install and use. I had just two issues. After running the install script, I needed to make the program executable. As root just do this: chmod +x /usr/bin/mp3record. Secondly when you are recording from a microphone you need to make sure that your volume levels are turned up - esp igain. Use aumix to adjust these.
The second tip is regarding photos. I've got a digital camera and I've had a hard time finding ways to remove red eye in linux. There are tons of programs to do this in Windows. I found a nice little plugin for Gimp that does a great job however. Just go to this page and look for the red eye plugin script.
Have fun with your multimedia!

Handy tip
Handy tip: edit the file /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh and add aumix -w 60 -v 60 to the bottom of the file and your sound levels will be set every time you boot. This is very helpful for alsa when you install to hard drive and use the /etc/int.d/alsa-autoconfig to create the devices and set it up the sound levels get lost on reboot this ensures that the sound levels are set when you re-boot.

Found that one a couple of days ago searching the forum, when I built a new machine and had to use alsa and of course had to set the levels everytime.
BONUS tip of the day for newbies or anyone really if your reading this, search the forum before you post the question it more than likely has been asked and answered and as always Google is your best friend.
