After looking through some of the old post I felt bad that I never

against the planet version of ecasound, so I created an RPM and a SRPM.

It's full of bugs and very basic at the moment and you will need to make 
up an ecs file with a few mono 16/44100 wav files. I'm afraid there's no recording, easy 
to do but I never got round to implementing it.

Try a basic ecs like

-sr:44100 -n:example 
-a:t1 -f:s16_le,1,44100 -i:file1.wav,
-a:t2 -f:s16_le,1,44100 -i:file2.wav,

-a:t1,t2 -f:s16_le,2,44100 -o:alsa

-a:t1 -erc:1.00,2.00 -epp:50.00
-a:t2 -erc:1.00,2.00 -epp:50.00

ecasound.el 0.8.3 released

Hi.

I am happy to announce ecasound.el version 0.8.3.
It has been a long time since I released a version
of ecasound.el.  This version basically fixes a lot of XEmacs
related compatibility issues and adds the marker system.

Changes since last version:
* Add "-D" to the default `ecasound-arguments'.  This fixes a problem
  with the TERM variable which only appeared in XEmacs and is a reasonable
  default anyway.
* Fix `ecasound-output-filter' when "-D" is used as argument on startup.
* `defeci' cs-set-position.  Bound to "M-c M-s s" and in
  `ecasound-iam-cs-menu'.
* Add some more docstrings.
* New interactive functions `ecasound-set-mark' and `ecasound-goto-mark'
  which implement the position marker system discussed on ecasound-list.
  Bound to "C-c C-SPC" and "C-c C-j" respectively.
* New user variable `ecasound-daemon-host' which defaults to "localhost".
* Record the daemon port in a buffer local variable `ecasound-daemon-port'
  and therefore allow temporarily binding `ecasound-arguments' to something
  different via e.g. `let' before invoking `ecasound'.
* Various XEmacs related compatibility fixes.  M-x ecasound RET now
  appears to work with XEmacs.

ecasound.el can be found here:
<URL:http://delysid.org/emacs/ecasound-el.html>

P.S.: Kai, could you please update the copy in CVS?

[patch] Error in ecasound/Makefile.am


Hi,

while debugging build problems and misc things, I tracked it down to
the following typo. 

--- ecasound2.2-2.3.0.orig/ecasound/Makefile.am
+++ ecasound2.2-2.3.0/ecasound/Makefile.am
 <at>  <at>  -44,12 +44,12  <at>  <at> 
 if ECA_AM_SYSTEM_READLINE
 ecasound_LDFLAGS = -export-dynamic
 ecasound_LDADD = $(termcap_library) \
-		$(readline_library} -lreadline -lhistory \
+		$(readline_library) -lreadline -lhistory \
 		$(top_builddir)/libecasound/libecasound.la \
 		$(top_builddir)/kvutils/libkvutils.la
 ecasound_debug_LDFLAGS = $(ecasound_LDFLAGS)
 ecasound_debug_LDADD = $(termcap_library) \
-		$(readline_library} -lreadline -lhistory \
+		$(readline_library) -lreadline -lhistory \
 	 	$(top_builddir)/libecasound/libecasound_debug.la \
 		$(top_builddir)/kvutils/libkvutils_debug.la

There are other problems with the build, but "./configure --disable-shared"
seems to allow the build to go through to the end.
libtool 1.5 seems to be acting weird. 
BTW, -static isn't equivalent to -static, 
I think -all-static is the option for libtool that should be used ?

regards.

ecasound 2.3.0 does not work with jack 0.75.0 ?


Hi,

I have an impression that ecasound2.3.0 is not working with jack 0.75.0,
with a simple playback.

Should it be so?

My simple test is:

jackd -d alsa -d via -s & ecasound -f s16_le,2,48000 -i track03.cdda.ogg  -o jack_alsa

which worked on 2.2.6 but no longer works with 2.3.0 (seems to be quiet).

regards,
	junichi

I've experimented, and verified that ecasound2.3.0 works with jack 0.80.0,
but not 0.75.0

... and one thing to try, add -G:jack,eca,notransport to the 2.3.0 
command-line.

Hmm, should work. Was the 2.3.0 compiled against 0.80 headers? Check
with 'jack_transport' whether the transport is moving when you run with 
0.75.0.

2.3.0 compiled against 0.75.0 headers does not work against 0.75.0.
2.3.0 compiled against 0.80.0 headers does work with 0.80.0.

extigy actually DOES work

hello all,

just though i would let people know that i am successfully using a
creative labs soundblaster extigy (USB soundcard) with linux and alsa.

for Ecasound (I just compiled 2.3.0), it seems to like "-b:1024" -- at
least for full-duplex, but also for clearer half-duplex operations.
(this may be obvious to engineers, ie not to me, hehehe)

anyhoo, since there seems to be a general lack of useful info on the web
concerning usb audio, for the extigy in particular, i have posted the
juicy details here:

http://percent-s.com/tech/

adam

PS for the question 10 people are about to ask me, i refer you to this
quote from the ALSA page:
"Contrary to Creative Labs publicity the Extigy is physically incapable
of either 24 bits or 96kHz"

PPS no, i am not using it for 5.1 DVD audio.
