I get that plate reverb error no matter what options I use.

By the way, I'm just trying to use ecasound as a command line ladspa host. Is there a simpler way to do this, or will I just have to write some scripts? Is it possible to use the interactive mode to add a ladspa plugin on the fly? One last comment: I was surprised that ecasound exits when the jack mode is "recv" and I stop the transport. I suppose that is the intended behavior? -- paul
