Update: Switched to a Squeeze box. Now using Audacity version 1.3.7 (On the Lenny box version 1.3.5-beta is installed).
Initially the problem seemed the same - no signal, view meter inactive. Under Help/Audio Device Info there was a message "Stream is active ... Unable to gather information: Version 1.6.7 also does not have a switch to select the input source but the Alsamixer v. 1.0.20 explictily offers switches to select capture for individual input sources. Initially switch for cd was set to capture. When I set the switch for mix to capture this turned off the cd switch, Audacity's view meters became active and clicking on the record button started recording. Checked the Help/Audio Device Info again but it was unchanged. Armed with this information I returned to the Lenny box and tried the Alsamixer input switches - three labeled capture and three that can be toggled to mix/cd/line/mike/front mike. I played with various combinations of these but could not activate the Audacity view meters. I am considering moving from Lenny to Squeeze.
