A fix to this is in CVS. Parts of the multitrack sync code were used even
if multitrack mode was not active. As a result, ecasound kept on skipping
outputs fed by realtime inputs forever.

Also fixed in CVS. When adding audio inputs and outputs, ecasound set the
initial sampling rate incorrectly.

Oops, I meant to write "incorrectly overriding". So nothing wrong with it.

Oops again (gosh, I'm starting to sound like Britney ;D), you need to run
jackd with the -F option (= "don't fork").
