Yes, Ecasound has full transport support meaning it both reacts to and sends transport events by default (i.e. no need to specify anything on the command-line assuming you have at least one JACK input/output in the chainsetup). Same applies to Ecamegapedal, it too is fully transport aware. Everything is documented in the man pages and the user's guide: http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/ecasound_manpage.html http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/users_guide/html_uguide/index.html See especially the section '7.6.3 Transport Control' in the user's guide. A short example: # - start showtime (comes with JACK) to see the JACK-wide # transport state console1> jack_showtime # - start ecasound with mp3 playback console2> ecasound -i foo.mp3 -o jack_alsa -c # - start processing ecasound> start # - check the 'console1' window, you should see the transport # rolling # - reposition using jack_transport (another util that comes # with JACK) console3> jack_transport # - locate to pos 10sec (if srate=44100) jack_transport> locate locate 441000 # - switch back to ecasound and rewind to start ecasound> setpos 0 ... and so on. Everything works in real-time, and it doesn't matter which client you use for making transport state changes. -- http://www.eca.cx Audio software for Linux!
