I've been experimenting with arecord, with no success at all.  I'm using
the 2.6.18-mactel kernel, with current patches from svn, including

linux/sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c        2006-07-23
18:03:25.000000000 +0200

Playback works fine with every client I've tried, including aplay,
mpg321, timidity, and the various gnome sound clients.  The internal
speakers, external speakers/headphones all behave properly (analog out
only, digital out not tested).

However, neither the builtin microphone nor the line in seem to record
anything, using either arecord or gnome-sound-recorder.  My amixer
settings are:

The arecord command I'm trying is:

arecord -vv -d 10 -f cd -t wav test.wav

This runs fine, but the record level stays at zero.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
