[linux-audio-user] nothing works? jack/creox/jack-rack problems?

[andrej hocevar]

Hello,
recently I've been experimenting with different software simulating
guitar effects; some were working (poorly), others didn't. There are at
least three that I'd like to try and are included with Debian: creox,
ecamegapedal and jack-rack. I've got them all installed but nothing
works! My guitar is plugged in and I can hear it through the speakers,
however none of the above software changes anything.

I'm running kernel version 2.4.26 with the lowlatency patch and alsa
(snd-cmipci). If I run (as root) "jackstart -R -d alsa", I get 

loading driver ..
creating alsa driver ...
hw:0|hw:0|1024|2|48000|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit
control device hw:0
configuring for 48000Hz, period = 1024 frames, buffer = 2 periods
Couldn't open hw:0 for 32bit samples trying 24bit instead
Couldn't open hw:0 for 24bit samples trying 16bit instead
Couldn't open hw:0 for 32bit samples trying 24bit instead
Couldn't open hw:0 for 24bit samples trying 16bit instead

At least it starts, which it refused to do before I applied the patch to
the kernel. Besides, jack-rack starts as well, indicating that jackd is
running. 
But then, nothing happens! Does anyone have any suggestions? 

Thanks,

	andrej
