>Description:
The audiorecord manpage describes the -p option as taking the output port in the Options section and the input port in the Synopsis. It appears that the description in the Options section has been cut-and-pasted from the audioplay manpage, since it also lists the output ports which cannot of course be recorded from.
>How-To-Repeat:
man audiorecord
>Fix:
Change the description in the Options section to something like the following:
-p Set the input port to port. The valid values of port are ``cd'', ``internal-cd'', ``mic'' and ``line''.
