Linux Support (again)

[fearphage]

This is the fixes (and some) of the PR #7. I couldn't figure out how to continue progress on that branch/PR.

Let me know if everything still works.

Question: Why don't we/you use ffmpeg on all platforms? It seems like it would greatly simplify the code and it would add support for MacOS older than 10.10.

Let me know if everything still works.

You can do that by putting the following in index.js:

module.exports().startRecording().then(console.log).catch(console.error);

I'm sure it works for me. I just have zero macs on which to confirm the functionality.

I addressed the code review concerns and added the mouse cursor toggle.

Not sure what changed between last night and today, but I was getting strings back from the stderr stream and now I'm getting buffers. Weird.

@sindresorhus Anything else?

Setting showCursor: false doesn't seem to work. I still get the cursor in the recording.

By default it captures only part of the screen, while it should capture the whole screen. Setting the cropArea option does nothing.

.getAudioSources() return duplicate audio sources for me:

[ '0:I82801BAICH2 [Intel 82801BA-ICH2]',
  '0:I82801BAICH2 [Intel 82801BA-ICH2]' ]

It also needs to be in the format:

[ { id: 'AppleHDAEngineInput:1B,0,1,0:1',
    name: 'Built-in Microphone' } ]

ffmpeg version 3.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.10.1

Confirmed.

I'll look into it.

Cannot reproduce locally.

From your sample output, is that id [name]?

ffmpeg version 3.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.10.1

Same here.

It seems if you specify default to ffmpeg, it will use the default device. According to the web it's sometimes hard to determine this yourself, so maybe we should add in a Default Microphone entry, that just supplies -i default to ffmpeg?
