[ecasound] Starting Position problem

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with the y: (starting position) parameter with v.
2.7.1 on Mac OS 10.5.7. I'm starting ecasound with this command:

ecasound -i /audio/music/39328.mp3 -y:100 -o
jack_multi,system:playback_1,system:playback_2

I see this in the program output:

(eca-chainsetup-parser) Setting starting position for audio object "/
audio/music/39328.mp3": 100.00 seconds.

yet the file begins playback from the beginning of the file, not from
the designated beginning point. I've used this same command structure
for years under Linux with no problem.

Here's the strangest part: if I stop and restart jackd, then ecasound
will start the file from the proper begin point -- once, and once
only. All subsequent repetitions of the same command start the file
from the beginning.

Here is the complete output from 2 attempts, immediately following a
jackd restart. The first time the file starts at 100 sec, as per the
command line, the second time it starts from the beginning.

music/39328.mp3 -y:100 -o jack_multi,system:playback_1,system:playback_2
