ok, so I finally got this working, except for a few issues:

1. the only 24-bit format that pdaudio supports is s24_3le (be). Ecasound
only supports s24_le (be). I dont want to record in 32bit, it wastes too
much space. whats the solution to this?

2. Is there a way to divert the left and right channels of the spdif stream
from pdaudio to individual files? what would the syntax be?

3. Still cant get 192K support, iy returns 'bad speed value' in arecord. I
changed the value in alsa-utils/aplay/aplay.c from 128000 to 192000.
However, this directory and file didnt exist until I installed
alsa-utils-0.9.6, but I was using arecord before then. Is this information
stored somewhere else? changing alsa-utils/aplay/aplay.c seems to have no
effect

4. What default formats does ecasound support. would I be better off saving
large files as .raw or .wav? Does the .wav 2gb limit exist in linux? and
would I be able to read a >2GB wav file into windows for subsequent
processing? 24/96 stereo hits 2GBin an hour of recording, I need it to be
able to record a single file (or split into L/R) for 3 hours at this
bitrate.

thanks, 
jamie
