I don't think so, at least it behaves in no way like the efs filter.

ok.
ecasound -i /tmp/in.raw -o /tmp/out.raw -efs:1000,500 -efr:1000,500 -c
sounds similar to a 56K audio stream and is a bit quieter. In contrast,
-efr:50,14 -efr:100,14 -efr:150,14 results in a signal that will clip and
must therefore be -eas:96
-ev:
as noted before, -ev can produce some strange results, do we wrap
counters?
The statistics table is hard to understand.
-ea and -eas: work as advertised
the compressers seem to work as advertised
enm: I think I am not setting it up right.
(audiofx) Mono noise gate enabled; threshold level 75.0000%, threshold
time 40.0000 ms, attack 80.0000 ms, hold 75.0000 ms and release 75.0000
ms.
-ep: works as advertised, but decreases volume
-ezx: not tested
-etd and -etr: work fine
oh dear
[jhall@pongo jhall]$ ecasound -i /tmp/in.raw -eft:80

-etf: doesn't make a signifficant diff on a stereo signal and that is whta
I am testing with now
-ef1: produces a high squeal
-ef3: appears to work as advertised
-efb: produces strange results no matter what its options are
-efh and -efl
they seem to do something that is sortta right, but I am hearing pitches
around 400 to 500hz when I set -efh of 1000 but they may be overtones I'll
test with a sine wave later.
gotta go, will continue the evaluation later, but a friend is here.
