audioio_alsa2.cpp: In method `void ALSA_PCM_DEVICE::open()':
audioio_alsa2.cpp:59: `is_triggered' undeclared (first use this function)
audioio_alsa2.cpp:59: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
audioio_alsa2.cpp:59: for each function it appears in.)

tak:/mnt/tmp# ecanormalize_debug test.wav
(eca-controller) Selected chainsetup: "default".

Analyzing file "test.wav".
(eca-controller) Added audio input "test.wav".
(eca-chainsetup) Setting internal sample rate to: 44100
(eca-controller) Added audio output "/tmp/filepE8L53.wav".
Chainsetup/Enabling audio inputs
(eca-audio-objects) Audio object "test.wav", mode "read".
(audio-io) Format: s16_le, channels 2, srate 44100.
Chainsetup/Enabling audio outputs
