[Alsamodular-user] Problems on Debian Sarge: Can't connect to ALSA

[Ivan H. <ihe...@ci...>]

I have debian sarge, on a i686 and a amd64.
I'm using ZynAddSubFx, Timidity++ and FluidSynth, and all goes fine, but as i 
have listen about AlsaModularSynth i decided to give it a try.
Well... that's a problem. When i run:

$ ams

LADSPA_PATH: /usr/lib/ladspa:
loadPath: (null), savePath: (null)
Alsa_driver: detected more than 1024 playback channnels, reset to 2.
Alsa_driver: detected more than 1024 capture channnels, reset to 2.
Alsa_driver: can't set capture hardware parameters.
Can't connect to ALSA

and quits.

If i run it trough Jack, it goes ok, but i have no JACK output module, so 
that's not an option.

How can i debug this to find the problem?

Another thing, both computers have AC97 based sound cards, which support 
48000Hz rates. Maybe it has something to do?

Thanks for your responses
