I should to record audio un zoneminder 1.29, i have tried this way: http://www.malayalam.net/howto/zoneminder/ but the script zmaudio does not works. There are a lot of mistakes, and i don`t know Perl.
Did somebody have an experiens with that feature, or there some other ways to record audio?

System: Ubuntu 16.04, Zoneminder 1.29

Boy, is that procedure old! No wonder it did not work. As far as I know the current versions of Zoneminder will not record audio. Future versions may have that feature but it may be illegal to record audio in your area unless you notify people that audio recording is in progress.

Work in Progress in the feature-h264-videostorage branch if using h264 passthrough with ffmpeg cameras, only likes Audio compatible with Mp4 container. So for instance my camera does pcm u-law, so I need to implement transcoding of audio streams. No warranty given that is works as we only just turned it on.

I have to try this feature, if i understand you right. I have 4 cameras which are ffjpeg streaming. But can you tell me - the repository at hub did not works, system says that it doesn`t found.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:acrilex/zoneminder-feature-h264-videostorage
sudo apt-get update
Did i do something wrong?

That ppa is not updated.
Build your own package using instructions here
http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/sta ... rom-source
But on the end of the command swap master or stable to feature-h264-videostorage. That will build you a deb to install.
