mixer -f /dev/mixer[device] =rec [ line, mic ]
When you run mixer you should see ....... Mixer video is currently set to 75:75 Recording source: mic
So I got my recording source in mixer output.
Also you could try giving the program the actual device /dev/dspW0.1 instead of a symlink.... Maybe it will like that better.
The only other thing I can say on the topic is that many full duplex cards (I am not at all familiar with yours) can do full duplex but may only do 8 bit in one direction and 16 bit in the other.
So they may be trying to set AFMT_S16_LE or AFMT_STEREO in both directions, which might not work. They should be doing AFMT_U8 on playback and AFMT_STEREO on recording .....
Not sure if this helps you. My only recording interests were to "Tivo" Radio talk show Mainly Art Bell.
Um. So I just have some crappy program and some scripts. I have not been played with anything else related to recording.
Best wishes,

hello all,
a couple of questions:
1) have any of you had success installing ardour (ardour.sf.net)? if so, could you please contact me to review the steps taken?
2) audacity users: i currently have audacity-1.0.0_2 installed (audacity.sf.net). even though it invariably hiccups an error message about /dev/dsp not being a valid playback device, it does provide playback. i cannot, however, seem to get it to record. i've scoured both google and the audacity mailing lists, but no luck.
for what it is worth, i do have 1 recording channel...
cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: <ESS Technology Maestro-2E> port 0x1400-0x14ff irq 5 at device 8.0 on pci0 (4p/1r/4v channels duplex)
i have also fiddled with the mixer settings in pretty much every way imaginable....
mixer
Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 75:75 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer rec is currently set to 75:75 Mixer ogain is currently set to 50:50 Mixer line1 is currently set to 75:75 Mixer phin is currently set to 75:75 Mixer phout is currently set to 75:75 Mixer video is currently set to 75:75
when i try to record, audacity complains about not being able to record and playback simultaneously under unix. when i try to change the program's preferences so that it does not try to do both at the same time, i uncheck a couple of boxes and hit 'ok'. however, as soon as i hit 'ok', audacity whines again about /dev/dsp not being a valid device and refuses to accept the changes.
sigh.
any suggestions you might have regarding getting recording working with this program would be VERY much appreciated. thanks for your time.
cheers,
epi
