Yeah, but I have a different sound-on-board, via686a.
I built everything, new kernel, alsa beta 0.9xxx, and recording
is simply not good UNLESS you are in good control of the
recording software.
The via686a seems to record fine if you go get "snd", a mixer/gui
program, and you set it to 48000 sampling rate and adjust all
the sensitivities just right.
"snd" program makes this work well 'cause you can see
visually the results of settings with little "needle/analog-like"
instrument panel.
I was also able to use whatever that default cmd-line one is,
arecord ? and aplay. Again, recording with the 48K sampling.
I think I did it with 24bits maybe more.
MOST "other" things do not work, like say, IBM ViaVoice since it wants
16K sampling rate and I cannot decipher their wierdo config files and
"override" the default settings. Thus, snd works because it lets you
specify exact details.
So you could call my machine "Mandrake 8.1" but for people like
me that statement would be irrelevant since I've manually rebuilt the kernel
and alsa, etc.,
I call my machine "Linux" with lots of Mandrake 8.1 RPM's on it. ;)
