SEUL: ecasound v1.6.7r7 - multitrack audio processing tool (fwd)

[Kai Vehmanen <kaiv@wakkanet.fi>]

---
Changes since last release

Support for multichannel audio files and effect processing. Flexible
cut&paste feature. Completely rewritten interactive-mode that gives 
you full access to ecasound functionality. Console-mode user interface 
now uses GNU readline making it much more pleasant to use. MikMod 
support allows you to use tracker modules as input sources. A couple of
new effects. Reimplemented signal handling and mp3 support. In most 
situations, ecasound is now noticably faster. Last but not the least: 
lots of new, up-to-date documentation.

Title:          ecasound
Version:        1.6.7r7
Entered-date:   25NOV99
Description:	Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack 
		audio processing. 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. Several open-source audio packages, like
		for instance ALSA, OSS, mpg123, lame, libaudiofile and
		MikMod, are directly supported. One of the advantages
		of ecasound's chain-based design is that effects can easily
		be combined both in series and in parallel. Oscillators 
		and MIDI-CCs can be used for controlling effect
		parameters. Included user-interfaces are ecasound - 
		a versatile console mode interface, qtecasound - 
		a Qt-based X-interface and various command-line utils 
		suitable for batch processing.
