Hi, good work on Cygwin but I'm wondering why when I type: for N in *.wav; do esdplay $N; read; done
in a directory full of short WAV files, and I wait for each WAV to finish before pressing Enter to start the next one, every OTHER wav file is delayed by about a second before it starts. The delay happens no matter how long I wait between wav files. It also happens if I play the same wav file repeatedly as in for N in 1 2 3 4 5; do esdplay somefile.wav; read; done it's always every other call to esdplay that delays. This does not happen when I use Cygwin's ogg123 to play ogg files (ogg123 has a small start-up delay anyway but it doesn't delay more on every other call) so I guess it's an esd problem rather than a problem with sound in general. The problem also fails to manifest itself when calling Windows' soundrec32.exe /play /close somefile.wav I couldn't find anything on google or in the list archives about esdplay delay problems. I tried changing esdctl standbymode but that seemed to have no effect. Thanks. Silas -- Silas S Brown, Computer Lab Cambridge UK http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ssb22
