Renamed directory "dev" to "dev_tools". Replaced the ecasound-2.7.2 with a new download of ecasound. The reason is that the previous ecasound directory had all the Makefiles checked in with hardcoded paths from Naomi's computer. This prevented anyone else from being able to build. I copied over the modified version of ecacontrol.py.

<h2>NAME</h2>ecalength - prints audio file lenght and other information
|
|
<p>
|
|
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
|
|
<strong>ecalength</strong> [-ahtsfmbcr] FILE1 [FILE2] [FILEn]
|
|
<p>
|
|
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is ecalength, a few lines of code pompously named so because they
|
|
let one retrieve the length of an audio file from the command line
|
|
using ecasound's engine.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Limitations:
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<p><dt><strong></strong><dd>- With files without header information (raw files), ecalength will only work
|
|
correctly if the audio file is at a sampling rate of 44100 hz.
|
|
(Addressed with the -a switch.)
|
|
<p><dt><strong></strong><dd> - It is not foolproof, feeding it with something other than an audio
|
|
file WILL result in ugly things being spewed back.
|
|
(A bit better)
|
|
<p><dt><strong></strong><dd> - A thousand more that I haven't thought of.
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>
|
|
