FWIW audacity has a drop down list of the output devices, and on my system they're all shown as hw:X,Y. There's no hw:X or hw:X,Y,Z. I also notice that the same hw:X,Y is used for both an playback and capture device, so i guess that means that '-i hw:0.1' is using the hw:0,1 capture device, which for you has no signal, and therefore ffmpeg doesnt capture anything. Hopefully there's some way to capture the output digitally, but if not, a cable connecting the analogue out to the analogue in should work.
