Thanks for the quick response, Julien.
What's odd about the single quotes is it's behaving opposite of what one
might expect: Absence of the quotes gives the "AUDIOIO-SEQBASE: Could not
create child object" error, while adding the quotes in yields "Error
loading chainsetup: Audio object".
I thought I saw an Ecasound flag in the documentation that instructs
Ecasound to output the currently loaded chainsetup to a new .ecs file, but
I cannot seem to find where I read this now that I want to try it. I
thought since my chainsetup works at the command line I could feed it in
there, generate an .ecs from it, then try re-inputting the generated .ecs
and debug from there.
Regarding Windows; I just finished writing a partial Ecasound .NET wrapper
library so that I can build/modify chains with .NET objects. I was feeding
the output of this library directly to the command line until its generated
output exceeded the size limit for the command line, hence my desire to
conquer this .ecs stuff.
Finally, I simplified my example as suggested and ran it with -dd
debugging. Results are below.
Thanks again for the help!
Kevin
