Bug#596991: nama: records in wrong audio format

[Joel Roth]

Package: nama
Version: 1.064-3
Severity: important


With each change in recording parameters, Nama automatically
reconfigures the Ecasound engine. This process may leave
behind a RIFF header in a file such as sax_1.wav

If the user changes the track's recording format, for example 
from mono to stereo, in the next recording run Ecasound
will use the previous format (defined in the existing RIFF
header) rather than the specified format.

Workarounds: 
- define signal width at the same time as adding the track
     nama> add sax; stereo
- change the signal width while Nama is in playback mode
- after changing signal width, issue this command:
     nama> eval remove_small_wavs;;  arm

That patch is a one-line change to the subroutine connect_transport():
	Insert 
		remove_small_wavs() 
	before
		load_ecs()
