+Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio
+processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording
+and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing,
+mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of
+audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects
+can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled
+by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console
+mode user-interface is included in the package.
+
+Optional compile-time dependencies (auto-detected at build time):
+- jack-audio-connection-kit (for realtime audio capture/playback)
+- liblo (for OSC [Open Sound Control] support)
+
+Optional runtime dependencies:
+- lame - required for mp3 output.
+- TiMidity++ - required for MIDI .mid file input.
+- libmikmod - required for tracker file support (such as .mod files).
+- set_rlimits - used to run ecasound with realtime priority (but see the
+                jack-audio-connection-kit README for an alternative)
+
+Note: If you have cmt installed and you experience glibc double-free
+errors when ecasound exits, upgrade your cmt package to 1.16-2_SBo or
+higher. This is NOT a bug in ecasound.
