Subject: [ecasound] confusing error message

When I run:

          ecasound -i /dev/dsp -o di.wav

when di.wav already exists, I get:

****************************************************************************
* ecasound v1.8.1d14 (C) 1997-2000 Kai Vehmanen *
****************************************************************************
- [ Chainsetup/Enabling audio inputs ] -------------------------------------
(eca-audio-objects) Audio object "/dev/dsp", mode "read".
(audio-io) Format: s16_le, channels 2, srate 44100.
- [ Chainsetup/Enabling audio outputs ] ------------------------------------

ERROR: [AUDIOIO-WAVE] : "no riff fmt-block found"

(This is on the cvs from last night).  

Is there a way to write this message so that it would be less
confusing to the new user?

By the way, once I got around that problem, I did end up getting an
unembarrassing mp3 which I put up on the web.  You can hear it at
