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...)

OSS (emulation) and JACK are the interfaces of choice for Linux. Miller<br>never really worked out direct ALSA support, and continues to recommend<br>OSS long after its obsolescence. Of the two, I&#39;ve found JACK more useful.
