Yes, thanks for the effort. One small thingie. (isn't there ever) The introduction of 'command_float_arg' made me realize that also ecasound has to parse it's
input! I think this aspect of passing info with minimal parsing *both ways* should perhaps still need little tuning. Example:
command_with_args('-o', '/dev/dsp')
compared to:
command('-o:/dev/dsp')
So that the 'command_with_args' caller would be responsible for using it with right amount, and correct type of args. (design by contract, was it?)
