DESCRIPTION
     The  aurecord program can be used to record audio data from a Network Audio
     System server into a file.  The recording will continue  until  either  the
     specified time has elapsed or aurecord receives a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal.

OPTIONS
     The following options may be used with the aurecord program:

     -audio servername
	     The  Network  Audio  System  server  from	which the file should be
	     recorded.

     -file format
	     The file format to be used for the recorded audio data.  The -? op-
	     tion will display a list of valid file formats.  The  default  file
	     format is Sun/NeXT.

     -data format
	     The data format to be used for the recorded audio data.  The -? op-
	     tion  will  display  a  list of valid data formats.  Note that each
	     file format may only support selected data  formats.   The  default
	     data format is 8-bit uLAW.

     -rate sample rate
	     The  sampling  rate (in hertz) for the recording.	The default rate
	     is 8000 Hz.

     -mode input mode
	     Some Network Audio System servers may have different input amplifi-
	     cation modes for microphone input versus line  level  input.   This
	     option  allows  the  amplification  mode  to be specified.  The two
	     modes available are "mic" for microphone input and "line" for  line
	     level input.  The default mode is "mic".

     -gain input gain
	     The input gain level in percent.  The default is 75%.

     -time seconds
	     The  time,  in  seconds,  for the recording.  If this option is not
	     used, aurecord will record until a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal is  re-
	     ceived.

     -comment comment
	     A comment to be stored in the data file.

     -?      Displays a usage message and a list of supported file and data for-
	     mats.
