First: Sorry for forgetting the subject (I used one *now*)
Second:
Thanks for your help, it's another nice example like the one in
examples.html of the docs.
Unfortunately the length of the splitted files don't have a multiple of
2352 bytes for burning audio CD's.
I found a solution by converting the single big wave file with
ecasound into a cdr file (without the 44 bytes header) and splitting it up
with "dd bs=2352 skip=... count=..."
Splitting the big cdr file into smaller cdr files causes the summary of
the lengths of the single files to be bigger than the length of the big
file! (Maybe the first/last sector is repeated??)
I guess that there must be a more simple solution.
Thanks,
Frank
