I get the following error when attempting to start

For those using this (and this is my first time), is
this a regular
error, or am i deep in the swamp with the alligators circling, so to
speak?
Hi Alex,
That (admittedly cryptic) message means that
Nama sent a command to Ecasound using the Ecasound's Net-ECI
interface, and got a return value other than 256.
I don't know much about it, except that it has happened
before. The alligators usually swim off. :-)
To help me understand your environment can I ask:
- what OS version are you using?
- how did you install Nama?
- how did you install Ecasound?
Here are some things to try:
1) Start Nama with the -D (debugging info) flag.
You'll see what was sent and what came back before Nama
decided to fall on its sword.
2) Start Ecasound in server mode in a separate terminal with debugging
turned on:
ecasound -K -ddd --server
Then start Nama again. This will enable you to observe what
happens in Ecasound.
3) Install Audio::Ecasound to provide an alternative
interface to Net-ECI.
cpan Audio::Ecasound
-OR-
apt-get install libaudio-ecasound-perl
(The package is available for Debian 'sid' but will install
on any Debian distribution.)
Note that Nama will always use Audio::Ecasound if available.
You will need to use the -n flag if you want to force it to
use Net-ECI.
Hope this helps.
Joel
Alex.
