Sorry, I'll keep that in mind.

Okay, this was good information. I loaded the file into
'Audacity' and hey, whaddya know! It's totally valid there
and sounds just fine. So, that's a big help. That tells
me my snippets *are* getting collected. Cool.
Still, that brings up a couple of questions to toss out to
the list:
1) Whassup with 'alsaplayer' & 'xmms' that they're not getting
these .w64 files read in properly? If they're using 'libsndfile'
(and 'alsaplayer' even sez right on the 'faceplate' that it is)
why can't they play them when 'Sweep' and 'Audacity' (also using
'libsndfile') can play them just fine?
2) Why is 'timemachine' saving it's recordings in this unpopular
file format? And why does it call them '.wav' files if they're
really '.w64' files? Is it possible to get 'timemachine' to save
out plain ol' '.wav' files so I can preview them without shutting
down JACK to load 'Audacity'?
Just questions. No pressure. ;-)
Heaps of thanks to Erik de Castro Lopo!
