This is a bug (at least in the last version of the code I have.) By
coincidence I noticed this only yesterday - I've been away from
recording for a few months. I have a patch at home that I'll send to the
list tomorrow. The bug causes any chainsetup with loop devices to
incorrectly print inputs as outputs.

I've also got a patch to fix the issue where ladspa plugins are saved
using their id number rather than their name. Unless that's already been
fixed... I really must get the latest code :)

That's what I use them for too. Very useful :)

I'll post the patch tomorrow.

Cheers,
