I got the following output:
"Beethoven1.wma => Beethoven1.wma.wav Could not find "Beethoven1.wma.wav". Beethoven2.wma => Beethoven2.wma.wav"
Yes well, there’s a typo: I wrote `base="${src%.wmv}"` in the script. Can you spot the mistake? :-)
I thought at first that it was that wmv should have been wma, but when I made that change, the script still wouldn't work, so I have to confess that I just can't spot it. What I know I have to do, when your script is working, is to try to work out exactly what it does. It'll be just as if I were reading a book in French with a French-English dictionary beside me, looking up every word one at a time. Instead, I'll be looking up braces and ampersands!
I then opened xmms and checked the output plugin situation. I found that the output plugin was Disk Writer, which I'd expected, since the script hadn't had the chance to restore the OSS plugin.
But there was a pristine `.orig` copy of the config, no?
Oh yes, there was no problem about that at all. In fact, I'd even saved a copy of it somewhere else on the system before doing anything else.
Regards,
Thanks for your patience in all this and best wishes, Leslie
