[ecasound] ecasound-2.4.6.1 and two named pipes one of which being unused

Hello All,

I am running two instances of ecasound connecting them through a named pipe,
in this case the pipe name being ecasound_fifo.raw.

The above setup works just fine for me, the ecasound_fifo.raw resides in
current working directory.

If I just create another pipe, say, called some_fifo.raw, the above setup
hangs and in STDERR (I am using -D in both instances) I see only this:

".

The point/problem is that other some_fifo.raw is not used by anybody,
may have whatever base name; 'fuser' shows no users of it.

In my setup the problem is repeatable in 100% cases.

There is a whole bunch of regular file in the same directory.

I'm on SUSE 10.3, ecasound was built by myself.

Did I do something illegal from the point of view of filesystem ?

I created both named pipes manually using 'mkfifo'.

Did I do something illegal from the point of view of filesystem or is it
an ecasound problem ?

Thanks,
  Sergei.
