Hey, thanks Erik!  This ^^ did the trick... and then it choked on
'sndfile'.  So I got that and compiled it... And then it choked
on 'ladcca' so I got that and compiled it... and then it worked.
Or at least it compiled and I brought it up with JACK and made
connections with 'qjackctl'.  At that point, 'timemachine' appeared
to work, the meters were movin' it was writin' ".wav" files...cool.
Until I tried to play one of the '.wav' files.  When I try to play
it with 'alsaplayer' I get this:

Audio File Library: '/home/jos/tm-2004-05-13T05:30:06.wav':
  unrecognized audio file format [error 0]
Audio File Library: invalid file handle [error 1]
Audio File Library: '/home/jos/tm-2004-05-13T05:30:06.wav':
  unrecognized audio file format [error 0]
Audio File Library: invalid file handle [error 1]

...and then 'alsaplayer' hangs real bad and I gotta go kill it.

I tried to play them in 'xmms' as well and it won't even load them.

Here's a link to one of the 'timemachine' generated files:

Any clues anybody?

Thanks in advance!
