The input signal seems to be severely clipped. Try running 'ecasignalview'
(comes with the ecasound package) and adjust the recording level (either
from source and/or with 'alsamixer' or other mixer sw) until the
'clipped-samples' counter stops increasing
Please forgive me Kai, I don't know if I'm being ignorant but...
$ ecasignalview /dev/dsp1
Caught an unknown exception
$ ecasignalview testfile.wav
gives correct output.
I'm using OSS (as I'm still with a 2.4.18 kernel), and will use aumix
for your suggestion once I know how to access /dev/dsp1. As I'm using
line out from the source, I will not be able to alter the volume at that
end.
Thanks loads for helping. And producing that app in the first place!
