Deprecation of `fmedia` in Linux Implementation

[kyle-seongwoo-jun]

Hello,

It appears that the fmedia tool used in the Linux implementation of the record plugin has been deprecated and is no longer available. Until a few days ago, it was accessible at https://github.com/stsaz/fmedia, but it now returns a 404 error, making downloads impossible.

According to the developer, fmedia has been replaced by phiola. It seems necessary to replace fmedia with phiola or another more suitable alternative (possibly sox?).

Thank you!

Thanks for reporting.
I don't have any linux distribution. So help is needed here.

Isn't there a native way to record audio without having to ask users to install something?
@kyle-seongwoo-jun are all your proposals external community repository dependent?

Will try to refactor fmedia to use arecord which seems to be an ALSA tool, should be available everywhere.

Proposed a solution using arecord from the ALSA framework.
