HDSperx Audio File Recording program - hdsrecord
The hdsrecord program records an audio file from the ViewStation's audio input and stores it in a file on a host computer. Various recording options and character istics can be selected from the command line. These are described in the HDSrecord man page.

You should run hdsrecord from a host computer with a remote shell command to the ViewStation. You can stop the recording either by specifying a time limit (with the -t option on the command line) or by pressing Ctrl-C.

Some examples of recording sound files from the ViewStation are:
rsh <VS name> hdsrecord > audiofile.au
rsh <VS name> hdsrecord -s 44100 -p 16 -e linear -c 2 > cdquality.au
