Mark, about what you said... now that I've thought about it, you must have got
the very first hrecord/hplay - the buffering routine needing fine tuning.
Remember the presently SNDDRV only supports a max. of 30720 Hz and only
multiples supported by the timer.  If you use and adequate buffer size or
multiple for hiffplay/hiffrecord one should be able to use their system without
noticeable problems.  If your drive seeks sufficiently fast then smaller
buffers/multiples are ok, else use larger buffers.  I've recored up to 15
minutes while working on mplay and compiling.  I'm only using a ST296N 1.1
meg/sec, 15 minutes at 20KHz Stereo for 36meg of monophonic sound.

I suggest you download the newer hrecpla.lzh fron dl12.  I will be releasing
the functions I've developed for sound recording as shareware perhaps?  Or
maybe I should just sell them.  I'm getting quite a library... YES I'm going to
have to write docs, just so I can live/work with myself! %-)

Also, I thought in the quick help I had the correct command line arg setup
documented.  Try... hrecord -f= -b= -s= you can optionally
omit the equal though I support both.  All Version 1.01 of the utilites has
this corrected!

Try the newer stuff out and let me know how it works with slower drives,
espically using larger buffers.

Stephen
