Audio playback with ´SoundBlaster Live! 24 Bit´-HD audio soundcard and ´snd-ca0106´ module works fine in Etch. But it is still not possible to record anything. Although some improvements have been made already. In alsamixer there are several capture-channels visible: IEC958 i, IEC958 o, AC97 in, SRC out , i2s in and i2s mixer. It is possible to choose one of the channels using the arrow-keys and space, but it is not possible to raise the volume of the selected capture-channel. One of the playback-channels is called Mic/Line. This can be used to toggle between ´Line in´ and ´Mic in´. ´Gnome Sound Recorder´ (GSR) shows the following sources to be selected from under ´Record from input´: IEC958 in, IEC958 out, AC97 in, SRC out, i2s in and i2s mixer out. The source-selection made in alsamixer overrides the selection from GSR. When there is another source selected in alsamixer while GSR is opened there are as a strange side effect all the available audio-sources under ´Record from input´ listed twice. When this is repeated, then all sources are visible three times, and so on. When I choose ´Open Volume Control´ from the ´File´ menu only ´CAPTURE feedback´ is shown there under ´Playback´; under ´Options´ there can once again be chosen between ´Line in´ and ´Mic in´. All the files created when trying to record something contain only silence. I was unsure whether to file this against ´alsa-driver´, but did not do so, because this is a non existent package.
