I gather from this thread that those tools > don't handle 24 bits, yet (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Kai, or The command-line line flac tool _does_ support 24bit sample format (since at least 1.0.4 flac version). For example: ecasound -f:32,2,44100 -i alsa,default -o foo.flac ecasound -f:32,2,44100 -i foo.flac -o alsa,default ... should sound ok (tested with ecasound-2.3.5 and flac-1.1.0). > Erik if you know, how involved is adding flac support via libsndfile > to ecasound? No extra steps needed, just install the new libsndfile and you are ready to go (replace '-o foo.flac' with '-o sndfile,foo.flac'). -- http://www.eca.cx Audio software for Linux!
