regular wav files have a 2GB limit. If you want to record longer than this you need to use a program that can record to wav64. 2 that I know that can do this are timemachine and ecasound. I'm sure there are others. ecasound is a commandline app and is suitable for running from cron. timemachine, I think, can also be run without its gui. -Eric Rz. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
