I don't know - you failed to mention that you were using plug:jack.
Probably no one ever tested this configuration.
(I don't think plug:jack is well tested in general. The JACK API is
simpler than ALSA so it's easier for apps to just support JACK.)
You did mention that in your bug report I hope?
Does Sweep really have no JACK support?

Yes, but what
would be even more useful is to report this to the
sweep developers.
done.
as it turns out, theres a divide-by-zero on alsahandle->num_channels
or similar. ive noticed other ALSA apps will also fail with plug:jack
(notably Twinkle) with an error very similar (eg, no available
channels for opening), while others such as Ekiga or those using
GStreamer, have no problems with plug:jack.
are these apps working around it by trying to open channels even if
the number available is reported to be 0? maybe this is a bug in
jack:plug for not making up a number like at least 2, if alsa_pcm
devices exist in jack..
