find . -name '*.exe' -exec cat {} > /dev/audio \;

but i dont know how to substitute /dev/audio \; part
with | ecasound -i stdin -o jack
any ideas?
thank you for responses

You can try:

Code:
 
find . -name '*.exe'  -print | xargs ecasound -i stdin -o jack

Do let us know if this works... I am not sure if I can pass the argument to ecasound command like that. But still I hope this should work Smilie
