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?

Febs:
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!
