Synopsis

na_record [options] [-h ] [-f int] [-audiodevice string] [-time float] [-o ofile] [-otype string] [-F int] [-obo string] [-oswap ] [-ostype string] [-p string]

na_record records waveforms from an audio device. It only supports recording for N seconds (default is 10). Specifying the frequency defines the recording frequency (if supported by the hardware). This currently doesn't support NAS audio in.
