It would seem that you have all the ladspa plugins installed (ie: there
are no entries under an "Available" heading). Have you tried any of the
other examples?

I don't know what may be wrong. Do you get any error messages
in /var/log/messages or the output of dmesg when you start ams? (and/or
start ams from a terminal to see if it prints anything that may give you
a clue).

I seem to remember that some ldaspa packages had problems when selinux
was enabled, you may want to disable it to test...

Sorry I can't be more specific, I just don't have the time right now to
try this myself.
