While processing the 7 hour recording mentioned in my former mail, I
came across the following:
using both ecasound and bcast2000 I had cut the recording into the
pieces I wanted (pieces of about 450 Megs each), which were in a
directory called "wavs". In there are 21 wav files, named 01.wav up
untill 21.wav. So, since these were recordings from the radio, I entered
ecanormalize *.wav and waited .. Now while ecasound was peacefully
chugging along, my system got heavily loaded (as far as I can tell some
bad website in MozillaFirebird with flash or whatever). And while
running, I suddenly startet seeing the following kind of error:
(ecasoundc_sa) Error='read() error', cmd='cs-add default' last_error=''
cmd_cnt=49 last_cnt=48.

i.e. as far as I can see, between these errors, everything went fine ..
was this just a case of a frontend starting the backend ecasound
process and, because of the heavy load, running into a timeout, or
should I be worried?
just checking ..
