NAME
dbin - Connect sound card input to DB Fourier Synthesis daemon
SYNOPSIS
dbin [options]
DESCRIPTION
The dbin tool allows to connect a sound card's input channel to dbfsd. Both dbin and dbfsd are part of the DBMix project, a digital audio mixing system. dbin is needed to mix in data from a microphone, or from an external audio device plugged into the line-in jack.
The audio device used by dbin must support full-duplex operation. Also, this device must not be used for the master or cue output of dbfsd. Otherwise, dbin will output but an empty audio stream.
