I don't know - you failed to mention that you were using plug:jack. Probably no one ever tested this configuration. (I don't think plug:jack is well tested in general. The JACK API is simpler than ALSA so it's easier for apps to just support JACK.) You did mention that in your bug report I hope? Does Sweep really have no JACK support? Lee
