[linux-audio-user] ecasound help

Hi, I'm trying to record multiple tracks with ecasound and a Delta 1010LT, while monitoring the process. I tried the following ecasound command without luck (I'm new to ecasound): ecasound -r -b:256 -a:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 -f:16,8,48000 -i alsa,default \ -a:1 -o mono-1.wav \ -a:2 -o mono-2.wav -erc:2,1 \ -a:3 -o mono-3.wav -erc:3,1 \ -a:4 -o mono-4.wav -erc:4,1 \ -a:5 -o mono-5.wav -erc:5,1 \ -a:6 -o mono-6.wav -erc:6,1 \ -a:7 -o mono-7.wav -erc:7,1 \ -a:8 -o mono-8.wav -erc:8,1 \ -a:all -o alsa,default I can hear the inputs, but the mono-*.wav files are essentially empty (44 bytes each). If I remove the last line, the mono-*.wav files record ok. But, of course, I can't hear it while recording. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong (I suspect it is something about opening alsa,default twice, but I don't really know). (if this looks familiar, I sent a message yesterday under the subject "xrun madness." I haven't heard back anything and I'm hoping to try this tonight) Thanks! Joel
