well, ecasound wouldnt let me record a .raw file over 2gb, so theres a limit in place somewhere. Its prob. built into ecasound to make the resulting files compliant with ms's .wav standard >If thats the case, you should probably bug Kai the main ecasound maintainer >to add support for libsndfile which supports SourceForge's W64 file format >(ie a 64 bit version of a WAV file). good call, I'll ask him. its actually sonic foundry, not sourceforge. I use W64 files currently in windows... and just to clarify, the following file size limits: fat32 =4gb ntfs >terabyte microsoft .wav =2GB .w64 = (2^64) I beleive ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
