[LAU] BCF2000, qjackctl and ardour

Hiya, A few years back I was using my BCF2000 with ardour. After upgrades to my computer hardware and Linux distribution the combination no longer works. The BCF shows up in /proc/asound fine. I can send and receive data with the BCF using amidi. The test of tracing communication between the BCF and ardour fails. I think this is because the mcu (port?) of ardour isn't connected to the BCF. But, qjackctl won't let me connect those. They don't show up in the MIDI tab of qjackctl. They only show up in the ALSA tab of qjackctl. A long time ago there was an issue with my distribution where qjackctl wasn't linked against libasound. But, that's not the problem this time around. I know people would need more info from me to help me troubleshoot this. But, I'd rather not spew 5-6 pages of stuff to the list. What would be useful here? Thanks.... -- Kevin
