Great.

The only thing I have tested :-)

I think I have fixed that bug now.

The file naming issue will be dealt with later. This is only a test.

Yeah, I guess it drops a little when you pay it back, since the audio
monitoring isn't fed through the sound processing stage.

This is because I don't save any VBR header in this version. When I do
that, the bitrate reporting will be correct.

Wow! Not good. How did it crash? Describe the symptoms.

Why do you think that? It only saves to disk when it needs to, that is
when the buffer is getting empty.

See above about VBR header.

As I suspected.

The Digital I/O *is* S/PDIF. :-)
