Hey guys...  I've been a member of this list for about six months, and after googling around a bit, I can't find any information on this one.  It's weird.  I'm no expert Linux user, and that's probably why this is stumping me.

When I upgraded to ALSA 1.03, all my recording abilities in alsamixer (and gnome-alsamixer) disappeared.  I'm using Gentoo and 2.6.3 kernel (with ALSA enabled in the kernel).

When I try to run the following command "arecord -d 10 -f dat -t wav -D copy foobar.wav" I get the following output:

ALSA lib pcm.c:1954:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM copy
arecord: main:502: audio open error: No such file or directory

I'm not sure if that means it's looking for "foobar.wav" and can't find it (although I would assume it is trying to *create* the file), or what....

I guess I'm just wondering if I'm missing something obvious which has made all my recording abilities go away, or what I need to do to get them back....

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply, I did a little testing and googling and got 
mplayer to work correctly. I also tried to set up a .asoundrc file, but 
that wasn't any success. Do you (or someone else with this device) have 
one to share?
    

I don't use one. An .asoundrc isn't necessary, unless you want to do
certain non-standard things. The predefined devices work for most
cases.
