I installed v1.1.0 from Debian repository and tried to run it. I get the 
following:

david at eurolap:~$ amsynth

/usr/bin/amsynth: line 61:  3861 Aborted 
$BINDIR/amSynth.bin $*

********** there was an error! **********

please check your config in ~/.amSynthrc

I lessed through that file but don't see what might be wrong. Whatever's 
there is whatever the package installation put there ...

My system plays PCM files just fine.
