Hi,

btw, my last message to ecasound-list today, I promise! :)

Let's see...

This doesn't quite work as '-t:xxx' is a global setting (unlike '-y' 
which is applied to one file only). So you specify one '-t' for each file, 
but in practise only the last '-t' will have any effect.

I think this is a separate issue. It would seem the RIFF WAVE headers are 
not fully valid. How have you created the input .wav files?
