Hi Bill I've tried most options with audacity in Scenario 2 without success. What I have noticed is that my analog device dissapears and re-appears under certain circumstanses. I assume this means that someother application, namely the html5 player in firefox has locked out the device for other applications.
Any way what I've done is made a small script to switch between the 2 versions of .asoundrc as and when needed. Also, perhaps a real fudge is use a cable to connect the headphone socket with the microphone socket and record that way.
