I don't know if selinux or something similar is active in gentoo (it is
in fc3 where I just got a report of this problem). I'm guessing the
amSynth problem is a combination of selinux, jack and suid executables,
at least in my case. AmSynth installs by default suid root, changing the
executable (in /usr/libexec/amSynth.bin) to 0755 seems to solve this
particular problem (ie: amSynth starts fine after that).
