I know alsaplayer does support libsndfile, but your copy > might not have libsndfile support compiler in. So I recompiled 'alsaplayer'. It still works on all the things it used to work on, and it now loads all the soundfiles from 'timemachine' and appears to be playing them. But what I get is silence. I don't get it. Timemachine's little meter is bouncing away in sync with the input, which implies that it's getting a signal. So what I see so far is that one of three things could be happening: A) 'timemachine' is not really recording properly but writing the file correctly B) 'timemachine' is recording okay, but not writing the file correctly. C) 'alsaplayer' isn't reading/interpreting the file correctly. Anybody got any good guesses on what to check next? Thanks for any input, ~Jos~
