Well, here it is! :) 

--cut from release_info.txt--
The first beta version of ecasound is now released.

Although usable, this version should be considered beta.  
For instance qtecasound is still just a qt/x11 wrapper for 
the textmode version. Also a lot of important documentation is still 
unfinished. Feedback, bugs, problems, succesful install reports, 
wishes, etc are all welcome. Send emails to 'kaiv@wakkanet.fi'.

An example of what ecasound can do:

Process a input file (wav, mp3, cdr) with a resonant lowpass
filter. The cutoff frequency is controlled by a sine oscillator.
The effect processing is done in realtime and the output is sent
to /dev/dsp (OSS drivers are used):

"ecasound somefile.mp3 -ef3:800,1.5,0.9 -kos:1,400,4200,0.2,0"

Title:          ecasound
Version:        1.1.5r2
Entered-date:   01JUL1999
Description:    Ecasound is a text-mode sound processing program that
		can do various tasks from basic editing and effect 
		processing to multitrack recording. Although the user
		interface may seem a bit cryptic, one of the main
		design goals of this project has been to create an
		easy-to-use, creative utility for recording and mixing
		purposes. Because of the simple interface, batch files
		can be used to automate complex editing tasks. qtecasound 
		- a Qt and X11 based GUI - is also included.
Keywords:       audio multimedia multitrack effect dsp mixing processing
