[linux-audio-user] LASH is making me crazy

LASH has me stuck in an endless loop.

It's running, and several daemons and programs are talking to it (fluidsynth, f'rinstance). But I can't figure out how to use it or what to do with it.

I fire up lash_control. I try to create a new project. I type in "help"... there are lots of commands, but "NEW" isn't one of them? Fine, then, maybe I'll just save the current state. I type in save and a name. It tells me, "No project selected". Oh K... I type in "list", and it tells me, "No projects". Fine then, dammit, maybe I cna name this thing, so I type "name thisprojectsomething", and it tells me.... wait for it... "No project selected". Goddammit, I'm screaming now, how the hell can I select a project then if you won't let me create one??! Where do projects *come* from, anyway, does the stork bring them?

Maybe I have to set the directory, so I type in "dir /path/to/my/project". But it is not to be. I'm told, and I'm sure you can guess this now, "No project selected".

The GUI LASH client gives me the same song and dance, but with dialog boxes and greyed-out options instead of the ubiquitous "No project selected" message instead.

Basically, what I want to do, is to save the current state of all my LASH-enabled apps, somewhere, with a project name (preferably in the nice project directory where most of the files are anyway).

What am I doing wrong?
