What do you mean by 'lacks a state' ?

Is there any output after the lines you quoted, like

fons at zita1:~> zita-a2j -d hw:1,0 -v
playback : not enabled
capture  :
  nchan  : 2
  fsamp  : 48000
  fsize  : 256
  nfrag  : 2
  format : S32_LE
Starting synchronisation.

  -0.007   1.000034   326
  -0.053   1.000046   327
  -0.114   1.000094   327
   0.128   1.000019   328

etc. ?

This problem is quite mysterious...
I've got zita-j2a running on one of my machines at work, with
a Digico 48-ch MADI interface for two months or so without
interruption. Use it almost every day, no problems...

Could you try jaaa -A or japa -A with the same sound card and
see if you get any signal in or out ?
