# osssrc

This element lets you record sound using the Open Sound System (OSS).

## Example pipelines

     gst-launch-1.0 -v osssrc ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=mymusic.ogg

will record sound from your sound card using OSS and encode it to an Ogg/Vorbis file (this will only work if your mixer settings are right and the right inputs enabled etc.)
