I have recently been trying to capture audio from some video clips that I have, and just didn't know how to do it. I thus stumbled upon an awesome way using Ubuntu Studio's default movie player, Totem Movie Player.
It is very simple, let me explain...
- Open JACK and start it.
- Open your video of choice using Totem.
- Go to Totem's Edit menu and select Preferences.
- Select the Audio tab in preferences.
- Use the scroll down menu to change the Audio Output Type to AC3 Passthrough
- Your movie audio is now passed through JACK and can be recorded with any recording package which uses JACK i.e. Ardour.
- The Totem audio outputs can be viewed from JACK's Connect menu.

Hey,
This is something I've been wanting to find out for a while.. that is, how to make totem output to jack. But when I click on "AC3 Passhthrough", I don't see any changes. when i restart totem, it is set back to stereo. anyone know what is going on?
Hey Rich,
I'm not entirely sure what the problem could be. The only thing I can think of is that JACK must be started before "AC3 passthrough" is selected. You will then see a new stereo connection within the JACK connections tab. I am running Ubuntu Studio - Gutsy Gibbon, so possibly the other OS versions have a fault?
Later,
Brian
