Can't open ALSA capture device 'hw:tickle'.
I am surprised that won't work

zita-a2j -d hw:tickle -c 1 -r 44100
Starting synchronisation.
It is possible you have a 44k1 only device that won't work ay 48k (the
default) but that would be surprising too as 48k is the standard in so
many places (broadcast and video). The -c parameter can be higher than the
number of available channels, at least I have used -c 100 where I didn't
know in advance. So the default -c2 should not have been a problem.
All that aside, I personally prefer to assign as many parameters as
possible if for no other reason than self documentation. I normally start
zita-ajbridge in a script and by putting in all parameters I don't have to
remember the defaults but can just read my settings straight from my
commandline two years down the road. The man page does list the the
default values and the only one that should need to be set is -d (default
none). There is a recomendation that -p be less than jack is using to keep
latency as close to jack as possible. Half of jack's period seems to work
well, down to the device's limit. (that is for HDMI it may actually be
higher)
