No, but I'm curious to know what kind of input you used. i.e. was it a mic, or something at line-in level?

I recorded last night with my 5G iPod video, using a line-input dock made by Soap.
Using a Sony ECM-907, the recorded signal is present, but barely audible above the noise floor. As a point of reference, what I was recording is a show that I play seven times a week. I had previously recorded the show with an iriver H120, using the same microphone, same mic placement, etc. In that recording, AGC safety mode limited the overall gain to about 28dB.
I also tried using my Total BitHead headphone amp to boost the signal. That gave me a little more signal, but also more noise.
I haven't yet had a chance to try recording from a line-level source.
Recording was unstable generally. Rockbox would almost invariably eventually freeze during the recording. I wasn't able to detect any pattern about what caused the freezes.
linuxstb:
Just a warning - don't judge the quality of recording on the ipods by the code in Rockbox at the moment. It's only really "proof-of-concept' code, and no effort has yet been made to setup the ADC optimally.
Febs:
I understand completely.

well recording with a nano works. tried it with line out from my computer and it shows some activity... but its barely hearable in playback.. sorry for my english but i am still a bit drunk... yeah i know this is just a "proof of consept" but i tought i would just verify that recording on a nano works!;D i hope someone would work on improving it. ( i would do it if i had any coding expiriense)
well keep up the good work!
rock box rules!
