(3) like 2:21pm ~> cat /dev/sndstat  (on my PowerCenter Pro 210)
PowerMac (AWACS rev 2) DMA sound driver:
        sound.format = 0x20 (signed 16 bit big)
        sound.speed = 8000Hz (phys. 8820Hz)
        sound.stereo = 0x0 (mono)
        sq.block_size = 2048 sq.max_count = 4 sq.max_active = 4
        sq.count = 0 sq.rear_size = 520
        sq.active = 0 sq.syncing = 0

When I use esound in 2.4, "esdrec > foo" will cause sound to stop playing
after a few seconds, always creating a file which has exactly 16054 bytes
(I believe this is the correct number - I'll verify that tonight).

esdrec works fine when using a 2.2.x kernel.  I'm using esound 0.2.20.

Also, would someone know how to do the equivalent of "cat /dev/audio |
lame" without this esound & esdrec mess?


Thanks,
Peter
