Re: [ecasound] schedule effects

Hy Julien,

I play with the parameters you gave me and it works great with wav file.
ecasound \
 -a:1,2 -i alsahw,1,0,0
 -a:1 -ea:100 -klg:1,0,100,5,0,1,5,1,5.67,0,30.67,0,31,1\
 -a:2 -etd:250,2,2,50,50 -ea:200
-klg:1,0,100,5,0,0,18,0,18.67,1,25.67,1,26,0\
 -a:all -o alsahw,1,0,0

I put the effects in a preset effect file:
-- test.ecp --
test = -ea:100 -klg:1,0,100,5,0,1,5,1,5.67,0,30.67,0,31,1 |
-etd:250,2,2,50,50 -ea:200 -klg:1,0,100,5,0,0,18,0,18.67,1,25.67,1,26,0
-- test.ecp --

and then apply the preset to one channel:
ecasound \
 -a:1 -i ./test.wav -pf test.ecp\
 -a:all -o alsahw,1,0,0

It also works ! :)

I tried the following line to process recording input and, unfortunately, it
freezes my computer ...
ecasound \
 -a:1,2 -i alsahw,1,0,0
 -a:1 -ea:100 -klg:1,0,100,5,0,1,5,1,5.67,0,30.67,0,31,1\
 -a:2 -etd:250,2,2,50,50 -ea:200
-klg:1,0,100,5,0,0,18,0,18.67,1,25.67,1,26,0\
 -a:all -o alsahw,1,0,0

ecasound freezes also when i get input from default alsa device which is
define as follow:
-- /etc/asound.conf --
pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}
-- /etc/asound.conf --

When i kill pulseaudio and i use alsahw,0,0,0 instead it works fine (apart
from some overrun) with the following command line:

ecasound\
 -a:1 -i alsahw,0,0,0 -pf test.ecp\
 -a:all -o alsahw,1,0,0

But i suppose overrun are normal because i'm using two audio cards in the
same session (synchronization problem).

Thanks very much for your help :)
