Bill Somerville 3a3af42cc6 Tool to exercise QAudioInput
The tool record_time_signal is designed  to measure the performance of
QAudioInput. The  intended use  is to  record a  short period  of live
audio from  an on-air time  signal of  known good quaility,  the basic
required parameters  are an  audio input device,  an output  file name
(.WAV), a start second in a minute,  and a duration in seconds. So for
example to record  the time signal ticks  and fast data at  the top of
the minute:

    $ record_time_signal -o wwv.wav -s 55 -d 15

will record  15s of  audio at  48000Hz sample  rate, stereo,  from the
default audio  input device, starting  at second  55. This will  use a
separate timer  to stop  the recording  which is  likely to  leave the
output file a little short due  to buffer latency. The buffer size can
be adjusted using the '-b <buffered-frames>' option.

The tool  also supoorts  a different mechanism  to time  the recording
which uses the audio progress via  a notify signal. This should ensure
at least  the requested  duration is recorded  The shorter  the notify
interval  the  closer teh  final  size  shoould  be to  the  requested
duration.  Use the  '-d  <interval-ms>' option  to  adjust the  notify
interval.

    $ record_time_signal -o wwv.wav -s 55 -d 15 -n 100

Non-default audio devices can be selected, use the '-I' option to list
the available input  devices with an index number that  can be used to
select the device using the 'R <device-number>' option.

Other options are available, use '-h' for details.
