I'm trying to digitize a tape.  The tape deck output is attached to the
input of my sound card. I can hear the sound on my speakers, which are
attached to the same sound card; but nothing is coming out of /dev/dsp.

The mixer seems to work as advertized, volume and muting work OK.  I've
tried activating recording, which (I think) is indicated by a red light
below the volume sliders for a number of diffreent inputs with no effect:
The commands:
        $ cat /dev/dsp > foo
        $ od -h foo
        0000000 8080 8080 8080 8080 8080 8080 8080 8080
        *
        0410000
seem to indicate that the output of /dev/dsp is nil.

Any idea about what the trouble is, how to fix it, or useful info to 
gather?
