I've just discovered EtherApe, so firstly, let me thank you for a really neat program.
A few thoughts occur to me for some neat GUI improvements:
1. I' d like to be able to select (and copy) the hostnames in the main GUI.
2. I don't recognise many of the domains - it would be interesting to be able to do a Whois (possibly automatically). Also, can one identify which process is...

Just a tiny suggestion for usability fix. I got confused by the configuration preference called "Length of one history entry".
I thought it meant "This is the maximum number of characters that can be saved to the clipboard each time", and was rather puzzled why it's limited to such a small number.
Might I suggest renaming this pref to "width of popup (characters)" or "number of characters...

The command:
sox -n -2 -t wav test.wav synth LEN
normally creates a file of length LEN seconds, with an A440 sine wave.
However, in the special case where LEN is zero, the file is infinitely long!
I've just tested it with today's CVS. (Earlier versions (e.g. 1.14.10) throw an error about the usage being incorrect.)
What *should* happen is that we get a zero-length wav file, i.e. a...

Thanks - I tested that, and it's really neat. It's quite interesting to compare the following:
Major 3rd (A,C#), in J.I. tuned in A major:
/usr/local/bin/play -V4 -n -c1 synth -j 0 sin %0 sin %+4 fade q 0.1 2 0.1;
Major 3rd (A,C#) in J.I., tuned in A# major: (ouch!)
/usr/local/bin/play -V4 -n -c1 synth -j 1 sin %0 sin %+4 fade q 0.1 2 0.1.

Hi Rob - thanks for such a quick response.
I've thought about this a bit more, and I think that a reasonably generic implementation will require 3 optional parameters:
tuning, key, and a440.
Tuning specifies which system the semitones should be calculated in. The default (if not specified) would be "equal", while the options should include (at least) equal, just, pythagorean, and as...

Here is an audible demo:
5ths (first in equal-temperament, then in just-intonation)
play -n -c1 synth sin 440 sin 659.255 fade q 0.1 3 0.1 ; play -n -c1 synth sin 440 sin 660 fade q 0.1 3 0.1
3rds (first in equal-temperament, then in just-intonation)
play -n -c1 synth sin 440 sin 544.599 fade q 0.1 3 0.1 ; play -n -c1 synth sin 440 sin 550 fade q 0.1 3 0.1
The difference in 5ths is...

Using the synth effect for something like this:
play -n -c1 synth sin %-7 sin %0 fade q 0.1 3 0.1
generates a chord of D + A (interval of a fifth).
But is it a perfect fifth (just intonation; factor of 1.5 in frequency), or an equal tempered (chromatic) fifth (factor of 2^(7/12) i.e. 1.498 in frequency) or something else?
1. Presuming that sox currently uses equal temperament...

I've just discovered detox - very nice. Thanks ;-)
A few thoughts that would make it even more useful:
1. Running "detox" with no arguments (or possibly "detox ."), or maybe even explicitly (detox -a) should operate on all files in the current directory.
This would be especially nice, because at the moment, we have to quote the ugly filenames to pass them as arguments, and sometimes...

sox -s -w -t nul -r 48000 -c 2 /dev/null -t wav silent.wav synth 10.00 vol 0
echo $?
In earlier versions, this would generate a silent 10-second wav. Now, (due to deprecation), it generates an error, and prints the usage.
However, the exit status is still set to 0, when it should be 1.
