Well, I just upgraded to v0.9beta6 and the problem is gone.

But I'm having trouble with JACK.  It tells me "assertion pcm failed" 
when I try to start jackd:


bash-2.05b$ jackd -v -d alsa
jackd 0.83.5
JACK compiled with System V SHM support
30477 waiting for signals
loading driver ..
new client: alsa_pcm, id = 1 type 1 @ 0x8059708 fd = -1
creating alsa driver ... default|default|1024|2|48000|nomon|swmeter|rt
jackd: pcm.c:687: snd_pcm_nonblock: Assertion `pcm' failed.


...but then it just sits there (this is the CVS version; the 0.80 
version quits at this point), so I assume it's running?  I then run 
ardour, and it doesn't complain about jack not running, so I guess it 
must be.  But then ardour just does this:


bash-2.05b$ ardour
Ardour/GTK 0.407.0 running with libardour 0.695.0
Loading UI configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rc


...and sits there forever, doing nothing, no cpu or disk activity.

So I believe the problem is that jackd isn't really running properly, 
but I don't know how to fix that "assertion pcm failed" problem.  I've 
tried it in two different systems with two different soundcards and it 
does the same thing.  (Soundcards are an onboard ac'97 "soft audio" 
card, and a Creative Audigy card.)  And it doesn't help if I specify the 
-d <cardname> option (with cardname matching what's in ~/.asoundrc) nor 
the -p 512 option.

Can anyone help me out here?  I'm really at a loss.

Thanks,
Anthony
