I recently upgraded to 11.04 from 10.04. After the upgrade my ladspa plugins are not working. Here is my asound.conf file:
dave@devel:~/Desktop$ cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.ladcomp {
type plug
slave.pcm "ladcomp_compressor";
}

pcm.ladcomp_compressor {
type ladspa
slave.pcm "ladcomp_limiter";
path "/usr/lib/ladspa";
plugins [
{
label dysonCompress
input {
#peak limit, release time, fast ratio, ratio
controls [0 1 0.5 0.99]
}
}
]
}

pcm.ladcomp_limiter {
type ladspa
slave.pcm "ALSA:default";
path "/usr/lib/ladspa";
plugins [
{
label fastLookaheadLimiter
input {
#InputGain(Db) -20 -> +20 ; Limit (db) -20 -> 0 ; Release time (s) 0.01 -> 2
controls [ 20 -10 0.8 ]
}
}
]
}

I have been searching and trying different things for days and cannot get this to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
