[linux-audio-user] puzzling ecasound error

ecasound is way too complicated for me. All I want to do is open jack
stereo ins and outs, load the LADSPA amp_stereo plugin, and control
that plugin's gain parameter via alsa midi.

The -Md:alsaseq parameter is apparently ignored, and I get some error
about a plate reverb?!

[paul@email-addr-hidden paul]$ ecasound -i jack -o jack
-G:jack,ecasound,notransport -el:amp_stereo,1 -Md:alsaseq
-km:1,0,1,1,1
