Known Bugs and Limitations
F.1 Limitations
The following are known limitations of the DAT-Link and NetAudio.
1. If the AES/EBU signal is lost while recording, some garbage may b e recorded
before the situation is recognized.
2. Some DAT machines interrupt the AES/EBU data stream when their state
is changed. For example, going from `STOP' to `PLAY' may cause the input
lock to be temporarily dropped.
3. On DAT-Link hardware revisions prior to version 1.4, the -c option to naplay
and narecord only transfers the rst four bytes of the channel status and user
bits. Furthermore, the rightchannel status returned by narecord will really
be a copy of the left channel status.
4. Some remote controls are not prop erly trained using rctrain . See Appendix
B.5.2 for details.
5. When the DAT sampling rate is changed using the -S option to naplay , the
DAT machine may take a few seconds to lo ck to the new rate losing some
data. An audible clickmayalso b e generated. Subsequent playbackatthe
same rate should not suer from this problem.
6. Playback and recording over a network may not b e able to keep up at 48,000
samples/second stereo. Often you will need to use lower sampling rates, record
or playback in mono, or execute the commands on the same machine as the
NetAudio server is running on.
7. Not all precisions and enco dings are supported when sample-rate conversion
is invoked.
