It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording +and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, +mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of +audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects +can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled +by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console +mode user-interface is included in the package. + +Optional compile-time dependencies (auto-detected at build time): +- jack-audio-connection-kit (for realtime audio capture/playback) +- liblo (for OSC [Open Sound Control] support) + +Optional runtime dependencies: +- lame - required for mp3 output. +- TiMidity++ - required for MIDI .mid file input. +- libmikmod - required for tracker file support (such as .mod files). +- set_rlimits - used to run ecasound with realtime priority (but see the + jack-audio-connection-kit README for an alternative) + +Note: If you have cmt installed and you experience glibc double-free +errors when ecasound exits, upgrade your cmt package to 1.16-2_SBo or +higher. This is NOT a bug in ecasound. |
