Package: bplay
Version: 0.991-8
Severity: normal

When bplay is used for recording .wav files, it always
returns a 255 error code, even when it works correctly.
It should return zero on success.

$ brec -t 4 xxx.wav >foo 2>bar
$ echo $?
255
$

Looking at the code, I suspect that it returns -1 pretty
generally on success, and the problem is not restricted
to .wav files.

The problem also occurs with bplay.

This messes up all kinds of shell scripts, of course.
