does not split files

does not split files in all formats
Could you be more specific? What format, when splitting does not work? Please, post svar command line invocation.
i try in WAV and other format (mp3, ogg)
command line:
svar --verbose --sig-level=0 --split-time=30 --sig-meter
svar -s 10 -o MP3
svar --split-time=30
svar --sig-level=0 --split-time=30
svar -v -l 0 -s 30
but it does not split files
maybe I'm doing something wrong?
svar --sig-level=0 --split-time=30
This will not split, because volume will be never below 0. New file is created if incoming signal is below signal level for more than the split-time, e.g.:
$ svar -s 10 -o mp3 -v
SVAR - Simple Voice Activated Recorder
Selected PCM device: default
Hardware parameters: 44100 Hz, S16LE, 1 channel
Output file format: mp3
Output bit rate [min, max]: 32, 128 kbit/s
info: Creating new output file: rec-06-21:34:28.mp3
info: Creating new output file: rec-06-21:35:00.mp3
info: Creating new output file: rec-06-21:35:22.mp3
Use --sig-level=1. If you need better signal sensitivity, I think that it will be required to allow fractional values for signal level (code change), or boost microphone gain.
I understood you. I want to record continuously, but file was split by time.
Is it possible?
No, it's not possible. The whole idea of VOR, is to trigger recording by signal level. Then, in order to save disk space and still know when the event has occurred, svar has output splitting (not interesting part of data, which is below signal level, will not be stored), so file creation time will tell the beginning of event.
Thanks!
