I'm leaving out all the additional stuff as I don;t want to confuse things

The problem with this chain setup is that the processing runs
indefinitely. I'm sure it's a simple fix but I don't know how to fix it. I
get all 6 channels but I need it to stop when the signal has been copied
and not keep running.

Well, I've been looking at the docs for over 24 hours and asked several
questions and this is as far as I have got so far ;-)

Not saying that ecasound is difficult to understand. Once you know how it
works it is very elegant but the learning curve is rather steep and it;s
been a while since I really needed to use it for anything. In this case I
have a rather pressing need to make ecasound work for me so I am not
giving up until I know for sure that what I want to do is not possible.

All I need is to get the sound to stop processing when it has finished
writing the channels and the delay by 20 ms and I am basically done :-)

After that I will have to test the sound quality and verify the signals
are correctly processed which might require some changes to the filters to
get the best results. At this stage though I just want to get it to stop
running when it is supposed to.
