I'm wondering the same thing myself! The man page doesn't make sense, and I can't find any good tutorials on irrecord. Argh.

Tell me more about your computer. Maybe we can up the settings.

Push the "M" key on your keyboard for the menus, and push "F" key for fullscreen. I attached my settings to this reply; take a look.

Exactly. It takes whatever audio is being played by the computer from the pulse audio sound server and will visually represent it. It is better than the libvisual guy you use in Amarok because it...

I tell you what. There's a better way to install ProjectM. I don't use the libvisual deal in Amarok; instead, I use the stand alone app. It involves compiling from source, but it's worth it...

Thank you Raylitato!!!

I wish I could help, but I usually do in-system-programming and don't need a programmer, just a serial cable. A MAX232 hooked up to txd and rxd and some caps could save you the trouble and money.
