The
"input channels: 0" and "output channels: 0"
seem suspicious. If I try to change them Jack
won't start and says: "ALSA: cannot set channel
count to 1 for capture" If I leave them zero, jack
will start (but I don't know if that's right.)
its correct. qjackctl could do a better job of presenting the idea that
"zero = use however many channels the hardware offers".
Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation.
Then in qjackctl, I can see ecasound in the
"capture" column,
and I routed it to every single output (all 18 of them --
presumably 2 s/pdif outs + 16 ADAT outs.) So I am seeing
the hammerfall having 18 ports, which is encouraging
please jack_lsp -c and post the results here, that way we can see
precisely what connections you have set up.
Ok, I'll do that when I get home tonight. I noticed ecasound
doesn't show up in qjackctl's connection window until I
start it playing... then, after it's playing, I can set up
connections. Wonder if there's a way to set up those connections
before I start the playing?
I got nothing on the AW4416 where I would expect
the sound
from the wav file to show up on all 8 ADAT inputs.
and where do you expect them to show up?
On the pre-fader mixer input channel meters in the AW4416.
Likely you don't really care too much about the esoteric
workings of the AW4416, but in case you do, there is
a pdf here which is not too bad.

ugh, big url...

(well, the block diagram at the end cuts off the left hand side,
which is unfortunate, as this is where the input meters are
shown.) Anyway, on page 3 of that pdf, where it says
"If you select F1 [1-24/RTN] you can see the meter array for
all 24 possible inputs..." That is the screen I'm looking at.
I have the 8 inputs of the Yamaha ADAT interface assigned
to mixer channels 17-24, so expect to see something on the
meters for those channels when I get all this working.
