How to capture microphone input in VLC?

Question

I\'m trying to capture microphone input in VLC media player via the http interface and stream this but so far I have arrived at nothing. Is this actually possible?

Answer 1

Which platform? I'm on Mac so i know for sure this is possible with VLC 2.0 for the other platforms this should work as well.

Haven't tested those commands though.

Mac: Use VLC 2.0.0 or later and utilize the qtsound module:

vlc -vvv qtsound:// 

Win: Use sth like:

vlc dshow:// :dshow-vdev="None" :dshow-adev="Your Audio Device" 

Linux: Use sth like:

vlc alsa://plughw:0,0
