Artsrec not working ?

[Fernando Fraga e Silva <fernando.fraga@poli.usp.br>]

Hi people


I was trying to use artsrec to record a wav file, I would appreciate some help 
from you.

What I did :

 # artsrec lixo.wav
 CTRL-C to stop recording 
 # artsplay lixo.wav

artsd show me the following error :
Audio File Library : ´/root/lixo.wav´ : unrecognized audio file format [error 
0]

but if I try to play a wav I recorded by using xwave, arts play it nicely. So 
I figured: (1) or artsrec is writing some other format, and is ignoring the 
extension of this file (.wav); (2) or artsrec is writing a bad wav file.

So I would like to undestand :
(1) What is the output file format of artsrec ? The man page or artsrec -h 
show say it.
(2) Is it a general problem or only my wks problem ? Some else have sucess or 
fail in using artsrec ?
