Thanks for the info Derek, I have been getting mad crazy errors with ALSA and now I know to use Jack.  Is ALSA really in that rough of shape??  It's always been a pain for me since I run PPC hardware which is very, very poorly supported by ALSA unfortunately (I don't think I've had a single machine with a functional line in capture under linux...)

never really worked out direct ALSA support, and continues to recommend
OSS long after its obsolescence. Of the two, I've found JACK more useful.

best,
