Just for the archive, I now can record audio. The original poster forwarded to me a recommendation from another source that he try ALSA with OSS emulation. I thought I had tried ALSA before, but it worked fine this time. I use Sarge, which has both ALSA and OSS, and the startup loads both types of modules, so that might have confused matters. I don't know if it is necessary, but I put entries in /etc/modules to load the OSS emulation modules for ALSA, and the other ALSA modules are all automatically loaded. -- Carl Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
