Dear Alsa users, I've somehow hosed my system so that anything I record using arecord, rec, or other programs produces all zeros (flat silence). I've tried setting capture to both line and microphone inputs, with the same results. This is all the more galling because I can clearly hear a signal in my headphones coming out of my laptop. (I'm using Debian with a 2.4.x kernel on an IBM THinkpad 570. Recording has worked on the machine in past, but undoubtedly some update has caused a problem.)
I had hoped I might be able to diagnose the problem by using /proc/asound, but I can't really find documentation for the things that are there. For example, there is /proc/asound/CS46xx/dsp which is loaded with intriguing files, but no documentation. I'd be grateful for any suggestions, pointers, etc. I'd be thrilled if it turns out to be a stupid mixer setting on my part. But it seems unlikely given that I can hear the signal in my headphones :-( Oh yes, and *playing* sound works just fine---aplay, xplay, xmms, and friends all work.
