Thankyou very much, you lead me to the answer. I haven't got an .asoundrc set up, but by looking at /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf whilst trying to set up my asoundrc, I noticed the following: # some links for easy use [snip] pcm.spdif cards.pcm.iec958 so i try: ecasound -i alsa,pcm.spdif -o test.wav and I think it works. Now I just need to hope I get better recording results with this compared to arecord, and that the ****ing dat tapes that I am trying to make copies of stop their random glitching behavour :=( . regards, Jordan.
