So, that's a big help. That tells me my snippets *are* getting collected. Cool. Still, that brings up a couple of questions to toss out to the list: 1) Whassup with 'alsaplayer' & 'xmms' that they're not getting these .w64 files read in properly? If they're using 'libsndfile' (and 'alsaplayer' even sez right on the 'faceplate' that it is) why can't they play them when 'Sweep' and 'Audacity' (also using 'libsndfile') can play them just fine? 2) Why is 'timemachine' saving it's recordings in this unpopular file format? And why does it call them '.wav' files if they're really '.w64' files? Is it possible to get 'timemachine' to save out plain ol' '.wav' files so I can preview them without shutting down JACK to load 'Audacity'? Just questions. No pressure. ;-) Heaps of thanks to Erik de Castro Lopo! ~Jos~
