  No problem I have time to test it now !

   Same problem. Anyway even without this option there's a line
   in the output saying that rt buffuring mode is selected.

   Same problem

> ecasound -i:file.wav -o:alsa,default -b:1024 -z:nodb

   Same problem

   More precisely, the sound is not really saturated but there
   are little "clicks" at a frequency of approximately
   10hz. Moreover I have following warning with each of the
   options above :

>>> -- Warning

(audioio_alsa) Warning! Period-size differs from current client
buffersize.

>>> -- End Warning

But I have it as well with 2.6.0 and sound is corrrect.

  Surely it should ! Maybe the problem was that I did not clean
  the source directory before restarting ./configure etc. I'll
  try with untaring archive again and start with a clean
  source. Yes in this case ressource directory is correct but
  sound unfortunately still not !
