Re: [ecasound] record with ecasound on a mac

thanks, after rebuilding ecasound, it's now working.

i have an additional question re: one of your previous posts though:

i want to call ecasound to start recording from tcl, and then, after key was
pressed, to stop recording. if i just use the command

ecasound - jack_auto -o ./somefile.wav

how do i stop recording afterwards?

this is probably a trivial problem, but i'm not familiar yet with ecasound
and can't figure it out from the documentation page.

best,
michael.
