Anyway, the idea of doubling up chains is the main > point and should at least get you closer to your goal. The last "-f" will effect all of the ones after it. So set them as needed. I think this is what it should look like... ecasound -r -b:256 -a:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 -f:16,8,48000 -i alsa,default \ -a:1 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-1.wav \ -a:2 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-2.wav -erc:2,1 \ -a:3 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-3.wav -erc:3,1 \ -a:4 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-4.wav -erc:4,1 \ -a:5 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-5.wav -erc:5,1 \ -a:6 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-6.wav -erc:6,1 \ -a:7 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-7.wav -erc:7,1 \ -a:8 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-8.wav -erc:8,1 \ -a:9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 -f:16,2,48000 -o alsa,default I would also suggest creating an .ecs file (plain text file) with the chains like this (no continuation slashes nessesay)... -a:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 -f:16,8,48000 -i alsa,default -a:1 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-1.wav -a:2 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-2.wav -erc:2,1 -a:3 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-3.wav -erc:3,1 -a:4 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-4.wav -erc:4,1 -a:5 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-5.wav -erc:5,1 -a:6 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-6.wav -erc:6,1 -a:7 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-7.wav -erc:7,1 -a:8 -f:16,1,48000 -o mono-8.wav -erc:8,1 -a:9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 -f:16,2,48000 -o alsa,default run the file with the command... ecasound -r -b:256 -c -s /path/to/file.ecs (-c is interactive mode... you can do fastforward, stop, rewind... type "h" for help while in interactive mode) While in interactive mode, you can also do "cs-save-as NameOfNew.ecs" so you can see how a well formatted ecs file should look.
