I was using libecasound, but have just been pointed in the direction of
ECI, which is looking promising :) , even though I have only spent all
of 45mins looking at it.

I all honesty, this actually sounds like a good solution, and will
probably make Ecasound even better to work with.
I am trying to phase out ALL the Windows recording software we have been
using, and so far I have found Linux software to meet probably 95% of
our requirements. Ecasound is hopefully going to fill that last 5% - all
I have left to say is, "keep up the good work!"
