Right, but it appears that its failing on ALSA, not LADCCA.

It does seem that it is already built with ALSA support, but is his
debian system actually running ALSA, is what I want to know. If the
current sound driver is ALSA, then its possible its a sound card that is
rather picky about its parameters and the ALSA plug interface is not
being used. Cheers.
