if your SPDIF input is supported by ALSA, the following steps are
necessary:
* Even if you hear the noise thru the speakers, this does *not* mean
that the audio signal has left the card and went into RAM. This is
called monitoring: incoming signal being routed back to the outputs
immediately
* If your SPDIF input is supported, you have to select the SPDIF input
of your card as capture source (use a mixer to do so, maybe alsamixer
in console mode)
* If you have done so ensure the gain level for this source isn't muted
and it is opened
* NOw signal should arrive at ALSA. Krec uses artsd, the KDE
soundserver. So you should go to the control center and set up artsd to
use the right device
Recommendation: Use qarecord in ALSA mode. It has a nice levelmeter so
you immediately can see if there's audio coming in or not.
