Immediate context:
Im trying to capture from firefox using the .asoundrc/jack settings shown
http://jackaudio.org/routing_alsa
[Track is http://www.raaga.com/play/?id=183659
I would just buy it if it were for sale; its not. You may have to click
past an ad]
However Ive noticed earlier that when I use my (cheap headset) mike to
record directly into audacity, this similar DC offset occurs. Since I am no
audio pro I did not know what to google for before seeing the tabs in the
normalize dialog of audacity.
So if you ask me exactly how much DC offset I dont know how to find out in
figures. The audacity track shows it 1/4th to 1/3rd way up. Center is 0.0
top is 1.0 inbetween is 0.5.
This is little more than half way between 0 and 0.5.
When I run the audacity normalize tool a certain booming sound is there
which is not in the original. So if there is some way of capturing without
the offset
