Re: [ecasound] iam rewind

Hello,

coming back to an old bug report from February this year.

This rather annoying problem has been finally fixed in CVS, and will be
part of the upcoming 2.4.5 release. Thanks for the bug report!

This issue is also solved. I've reviewed the related code, and decided to
relax the requirement for uniqueness. The man page now reads:

--cut--
dit(ai-select 'aobject_name', ao-select 'aobject_name')
Selects an audio object. 'aobject_name' refers to the string
used when creating the object (see above). Note, in the case
a chainsetup contains multiple inputs, or outputs, with
identical namem 'ai-select' and 'ao-select' will select
the first matching instance. In order to select a specific
instance, the 'ai-iselect' and 'ao-iselect' commands need to
be used. em([-])
--cut--
