Great. Glad I could help - although it was just a tiny fix to some
very nice code.

It's brilliant. So far I've been using it to cut out parts of
recordings, rather than save space. The pass through option
makes such a huge difference when the source is more than
stereo. Really nice feature. And --fifodir (which I've known
about for only a short period of time) give load of flexibility
for the video: I've been able to maintain the interlace of some
of my recordings, for the sake of smooth motion.

Cheers,
