ecalength - prints audio file lenght and other information
SYNOPSIS
ecalength [-ahtsfmbcr] FILE1 [FILE2] [FILEn]
DESCRIPTION
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.
Limitations:
""
- 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.)
""
- It is not foolproof, feeding it with something other than an audio
file WILL result in ugly things being spewed back.
(A bit better)
""
- A thousand more that I haven't thought of.
