Hi,

With the silliness aside, I've been trying to get Ecasound 2.2.1 to
record from a device with no success. I must be doing something
wrong. I'm using Slackware 8.1 with the stock 2.4.18 kernel on an el
cheapo HP 511W Pavilion and using a 17 Feb CVS pull of ALSA. I'm
posting this problem here because it SEEMS like a problem with the
snd-cs46xx driver, but it's probably a problem with me instead.
Playback with OSS, ALSA, Jack works beautifully. Recording is another
beast entirely. I've been attempting to use Kai's examples on his
website in addition to his recent example as shown below:
Don't forget ecasound (w/ ALSA):
ecasound -a:mon -i drums.wav -o alsa,default \
-a:rec1,rec2 -f:16,2,44100 -i alsa,default \
-a:rec1 -f:16,1,44100 -o first_rec_channel.wav \
-a:rec2 -erc:2,1 -f:16,1,44100 -o second_rec_channel.wav
... with OSS you just replace 'alsa,default' with '/dev/dep' and it'll
work (assuming your OSS drivers support full-duplex).
... with JACK it's even easier:
ecasound -a:mon -f:16,1,44100 -i drums.wav -o jack \
-a:rec1 -i jack -o first_rec_channel.wav \
-a:rec2 -i jack -o second_rec_channel.wav
... you'll have to use qjackconnect or jack_connect to connect the
port to the soundcard ports.
When attempting to record as illustrated above, I get audio output
from OSS, ALSA, and Jack just fine, but the recording simply creates
two separate files of identical length which are both totally blank.
The result is the same with OSS, ALSA, and Jack.
TIA
i.e., playback with ALSA's OSS emulation works fine...
FWIW, I got recording to work by substituting "front" PCM for "default"
in the aforementioned example. The complexity of this stuff ....
anybody got a broom?
