Kai, Thank you very much for the info, now I can access the 2nd soundcard without a problem. Might I respectfully suggest adding some clarification or example of how to use the alsa (alsa, alsahw, alsa,plughw) input and output options for ecamegapedal in the ecamegapedal manpage... I was clueless. Thank you for an awesome piece of Linux audio software by the way. Ecamegapedal and the LADSPA plugins can turn even a 200MHz Pentium pro into a great effects box.
