I don't even know what that is right now. What is it exactly and what purpose does it have?

Due to how eac3to is designed, it doesn't support input pipes, so that won't work, unfortunately...

That's most probably a bug/problem with sound forge 8 and not with eac3to. There are 2 different kinds of WAV files and sound forge 8 seems to only like the older one (which is outdated). Use the "-simple" switch to create WAV files in the older format with eac3to.

IIRC eac3to creates "simple" WAV files for mono files if you use the "something.wavs" output. The reason for that is that outputting "wavs" is usually useful for Surcode DTS encoding and Surcode only understands the "simple" WAV headers, too. Furthermore, with mono WAV files the channel mask information is not so important as with multichannel WAV files (the channel mask cannot be stored in the "simple" WAV format).

"-full"

That's caused by the drawing of the progress bar. I don't think I can get rid of that.

Or even a command that would me me specify what level of dialog normalization an ac3 file has? Either way would work. Yet another option would be if eac3to detected a -0 dialog normalization level as having dialog normalization so that when eac3to extracted the file it would change it to -31.

No option for forcing dialnorm right now. But at least the next version will automatically patch "-0db" dialnorm AC3 tracks to "-31db".

There's no way to detect and fix clipping in one pass. However, you can manually lower volume by adding e.g. "-3db" to the command line. In most cases that should make sure that no clipping occurs, so no 2nd pass will be necessary.

To be honest, I'm not sure myself right now. Why don't you simply give it a try and report back if it doesn't work.

The progressnumbers feature is not meant for end users, it's only meant to be used by other programs which want to "remote control" eac3to. For such programs it's better if I don't use backspace.

Probably your harddisk is full. Or the network connection got lost. Or your harddisk is broken? I don't see many other reasons for why writing to a file might fail. This doesn't look like an eac3to related error to me.
