I don't know if it can be done that way, but I just tried it quickly by running ecasound in two terminals, one to play and one to record. Like a double cassette deck. ecasound -i input.wav -o /dev/dsp -c ecasound -i /dev/dsp -o output.wav -c When you stop (s) or pause recording, you can fiddle with the play "deck" until you want to continue (t) recording. Just an idea. Howard E. Ottawa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
