Hi,
and thanks for your answer ;)
I didn't shorten it because a misconfiguration of mutt prevented it from
being sent also to alsa-user.

No ;)

That's what I meant... and how can I plug the PCMs "the other way around"?

|
| With them you can select what your card outputs (it can't mix them together to
| my knowledge) to what speaker (each 'H/W Playback Route' is equal to one
| speaker)
| 'PCM Out': Errm, things you play via xmms, arts, aplay, ...
| 'H/W In [0|1]': The analog inputs.
| 'IEC958': The optical input.
|

Well, I set the "Capture" channel to Mic [Left|Right] but get
no input from the microphone. How can I debug this?

| If you want to use OSS apps and not use aoss to run them, yes.

Thanks again,
