[LAU] ecasound/jack records empty files

[Eric Steinberg]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a recorder that makes a 24 hour long audio recording,
with multiple channels.  So far, I can start jackd:

$sudo jackd -d firewire

and start ecasound:

$sudo ecasound -a:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 -f:s16_le,8,44100 -i jack,system -a:1 -o
channelone.mp3 -a:2 -o channeltwo.mp3 -a:3 -o channelthree.mp3 -a:4 -o
channelfour.mp3 -a:5 -o channelfive.mp3 -a:6 -o channelsix.mp3 -a:7 -o
channelseven.mp3 -a:8 -o channeleight.mp3

...this starts recording without problems.  However, when I stop recording
by issuing ctrl-c to ecasound and then start recording again, the files
created now have zero bytes.  If I stop and restart the jack server, then
recording works normally.  I would expect ecasound to overwrite the files
and record new files; why must I restart jackd for audio to be recorded?
 Thanks for any info.
