The sound recorder is for recording input. > I am playing Shoutcast radio online in my browser and looking at many > websites i tried to do some steps on vlc,audacity etc etc. nothing > works.

If your browser can play the stream, you can capture it. However it's not a one-button procedure. You need to check exactly how the stream is being downloaded and figure out how to intercept it. mplayer is pretty good at this once you have the right URI. In fact it even has a specific mode for capturing radio streams. > Given this case is there a generic procedure to record audio output > from sound card in my Fedora Linux 11 ? No. As I said, recording from the output is not supported. I'm not even sure it makes sense. Also, note that F11 is now unsupported. You should upgrade your system (that won't solve this problem but you should do it anyway). poc
