You could use pacmd to gather the list of microphones and monitors. ffmpeg supports "-f pulse" in place of your "-f alsa".

- everythingcli 10y agothanks. Btw do you guys have any good article links about the differences between pulse and alsa and why one might be superior to the other.
- popey 10y agoPulse has more features, but sits atop alsa. So it's not generally one or the other as pulse still needs alsa underneath. I don't have any docs on which is 'better' but a quick search reveals a lot of opinion on the matter. Bear in mind many Linux distros introduced Pulse a little early (Ubuntu [my employer] included). This caused quite a bit of hatred for it, as it was a bit unstable. Now those issues are mostly gone, and it Just Works™.
