Hi, I know this one is a known bug, as far as I could see from ealier messages but I thought I would repeat it once more: the driver snd-es1968 handling the sound card ESS Maestro 2E that can be found in many laptops, is buggy, you cannot record anything but garbage.
Ok, nothing new here but nowadays, sound utilities, programs, etc, use ALSA and JACk quite a lot due to high quality and low latency requirements. And that's great news for the linux community that open-source projects can compete with professional and often non-free audio software. I just want to say here that since ALSA is getting close to version 1.0, which means a non development release, it is now urgent to get at least basic things to work, like simple sound capture (the OSS free driver works fine but many applications now require ALSA and JACK). As an end user, I logically expect that such an ambitious project can deal with such a wide spread sound card. I have therefore three options: either I give up ALSA and all great stuff I could benefit from, or I buy a new soundcard (but I don't have any money to spend in it), or finally, you fix the bug, which is by far the best option :) I guess I'm not the only frustrated user in the place, so please, remove the bug ASAP.
