[Alsamodular-user] AMS not working directly with ALSA

[Wolfgang J. <wol...@je...>]

Hello,

I'm not able to get AMS to work directly with ALSA.  I use AMS 1.8.7 on Debian 
GNU/Linux sarge.

If I run ams without any command line options, ams outputs

    LADSPA_PATH: /usr/lib/ladspa:
    loadPath: (null), savePath: (null)
    Alsa_driver: can't set playback sample rate to 44100.
    Can't connect to ALSA

and finishes afterwards.  But ALSA works; at least, arts and jack have no 
problems with using ALSA on my machine.

If, on the other hand, I enter

    jack -d alsa &

and then

    ams --jack,

it does work.

Any ideas what could be wrong here?

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
