I keep getting this error when trying to setup a dynamic range compressor. Does anyone have any experience using ladspa plugins with ALSA? I followed the howto on this site http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/ Ladspa_(plugin). I only deviated from their .asoundrc trying to troubleshoot. Currently using ALSA 1.0.14 mythtv@myth:~$ aplay -Dplug:drc downloads/bigsmegh.wav Playing WAVE 'downloads/bigsmegh.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono ALSA lib
