[linux-audio-user] recovering tracks after hdd failure.

I was recording a particularly roaring jam last night and my HDD overheated (I think). Why does it always happen when you are doing your best work? Anyway I have an extreemely large file which I cannot access with any of the players I have. Does anyone know how I can check the file to see if there is any useful info in it and recover whatever was recorded? I was using arecord so I assume that at least some of it was written to disk. I'm thinking I need to scan the file for the ggod info then cut it up with some thing that cuts files into bits and discard the junk then put it back together or just put the parts into seperate files. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.
