As the description says, will it be updated? I often use it to record old tapes to wav but I don't have that option with 0.8.

The message on Case's page doesn't look too good for me. I need this but i don't want to be stuck with FB2K 0.77 for ever.

foo_record is still working with 0.8b10 at my place. And regarding this from 0.8 changelog: it probably still will for some time to come....

So what's the actual problem?

I think it uses the legacy (0.7) diskwriters, and it won't show wav in the format options.

You are right. But you can record to lossless (APE & FLAC supported, others trough CLI encoder) and then decode to wav ... seems to be only option.

Stop press! You can record to PCM wave trough:
Legacy 0.7 output support: Nero encoder

And if Case don't update foo_record he probably won't update foo_nero either, which will keep this option open for some time to come.....

Ok. Problem solved. After installing these, there showed up a new record under components menu that utilizes 0.8 diskwriters. If you also keep Case's foo_record (still to be found here, among other useful components) you should now have two different recorders, one for 0.7 and one for 0.8 diskwriters.... Interface of new recorder is a little primitive, but it works...
