[LAU] Alsa to jack bridge and asoundrc

[S. Massy]

Hello,

I've been trying to find a way to create an alsa to jack bridge. I found
instructions at the following URL:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/Jack_and_Loopback_device_as_Alsa-to-Jack_bridge

I compiled the aloop module and it works fine, but when I try setting up
the asoundrc as described, and use the device, I get.
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
aplay: main:654: audio open error: Invalid argument

Does anyone know what this uninformative error mean? Has anybody ever
had luck with a similar setup?

Thanks.

Cheers,
S.M.
