*** Ecasound - Known Bugs/Features ***

|
Reporting bugs
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Please send your bug reports to the ecasound-list mailing list (see
|
|
README or http://eca.cx/ecasound/mlists.php for list contact information).
|
|
|
|
If the bug (or feature request) cannot be solved immediately (or
|
|
getting a response takes longer than you care to wait for), feel free
|
|
to add the item to the sourceforge.net tracker (see below). It is
|
|
also a good idea to send a note to the list that you have added
|
|
a new item as the sourceforge.net tracker is not monitored by
|
|
all developers.
|
|
|
|
To get the best results, see for example Simon Tatham's excellent
|
|
article on 'How to Report Bugs Effectively' (if you are in a hurry,
|
|
skip to the summary at the end of the article :)):

Ecasound bug tracker at sourceforge.net
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Ecasound has used the sourceforge.net bug tracker since Jan/2006:
|
|
|
|
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=4605&atid=104605
|
|
|
|
This tracker is used to monitor longstanding bugs and
|
|
feature/improvement items. It replaces the old Ecasound Development
|
|
Item practise (items marked with 'edi-x' tags) that was used
|
|
between 2002-08.
|
|
|
|
Known Bugs and Features (not in other issue trackers)
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In addition to the below items, some known missing features have been
|
|
listed in the 'TODO' file (in same directory as this file).
|
|
|
|
- commas in filenames given as arguments to '-i' and '-o' options need
|
|
to be either escaped with backslashes (-i foo\\,bar.wav) or quoted
|
|
with doublequotes (-i "foo,bar.wav")
|
|
- certain combinations of glibc and linux-2.6 kernels cause the 'cs-edit'
|
|
EIAM command to fail (ecasound exits back to shell after the command);
|
|
as a workaround, set the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 environment variable
|
|
before running ecasound; see http://people.redhat.com/drepper/assumekernel.html
|
|
for background information on LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
|
|
- ecasound cannot parse ogg and flac headers so correct audio
|
|
format parameters must be set manually with ecasound's '-f' option
|
|
- pitch shifter (-ei) doesn't work with all real-time audio object
|
|
types (for instance JACK)
|
|
- ecasound crashes if /dev/midi points to an invalid rawmidi device
|
|
- MIDI-ops like '-km' cannot be used in presets
|
|
- controller sources and big buffersizes
|
|
- distortion results for example if sine-oscillators
|
|
are used with big buffersize (-b:X) settings
