Hi Mehdi,

Nama was bitten by a bash/dash syntax issue.

	Bug#599693: nama: Startup fails because socket creation fails

In short, the audio engine (ecasound) won't start with dash
as the system shell.

According to Debian maintainer Jonathan Nieder, it is actually
a dash bug:

	Bug #599871	dash: shell redirect syntax fails via perl "system" command

It is a minor issue for dash, but a serious one for Nama.

Could you please unblock nama to permit me to upload a
one-line patch?

The new version will be 1.064-6.

Regards,

Joel
