I can successfully record using *krecord*. It saves the audio to a
buffer that I then save as *ALSA test.wav*. I then can play the file
with *Kaffeine*.

(If I try to play the buffer directly from *krecord* it complains
*Error: can't open soundcard: Device or resource busy. But [B]Kaffeine*
can play a wav file, even while *krecord* is open.)

The levels do indeed move. With *krecord* the levels move from the
speaker even if the record function has not been started.

This is not a problem. We can record and have recorded to *ALSA
test.wav*. I have recorded both microphone and internet radio.

With the internet radio the music does get to the SB with about a
second latency, but is still very distorted and overridden by the hum.

Thanks again, Andy
