I wonder if a timeout could relate to a problem I
encountered. To set up Nama's effects database,
it sends Ecasound's *-register commands in series:
cop-register, preset-register, ladspa-register, etc.

One user observed that the replies were in the
wrong order when the commands were sent via NetECI
but only when his CPU was set to a power-saving
mode!

Cheers,

Joel
