[ecasound] Piping to ecasound

This is back to removing voice from the linux audio list.

I'm sorry to say I don't know much about audio. I'm trying to now
burn the audio back to cdr and cdrecord is giving an error:

    cdrecord: Bad audio track size 30750092 for track 01.
    cdrecord: Audio tracks must be at least 705600 bytes and a multiple of 2352.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with not using raw input format.
The man pages for ecasound says when using -i stdin that the audio is
expected to be in raw format.

I'm piping flac to ecasound and was not able to use --force-raw-format
flac option. Indeed, this plays the audio just fine.

  flac -dc test.flac | ecasound -i stdin -o alsa

So to convert a collection of flac files I'm using this in a script:

    for x in "$DIR"/*.flac; do
        OUTFILE="$(basename $x .flac ).wav"

        echo "Generating: $OUTFILE"

        flac -dc "$x" | \
        ecasound \
            -q \
            -a:1,2, \
            -i stdin \
            -o "$OUTFILE" \
            -a:1 \
            -el:karaoke,-40 \
            -ea:200 \
            -a:2 \
            -efl:400
    done

Here's that first track:

    moseley@email-addr-hidden:~/wav$ file test.wav
    test.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz

    moseley@email-addr-hidden:~/wav$ ls -l test.wav
    -rw-r--r-- 1 moseley moseley 30750136 2005-03-31 11:56 test.wav

And alsaplayer plays test.wav just fine, too.

I'm burning with

    cdrecord -dao *.wav

Am I now creating the correct output wav from ecasound?

Thanks,
