[Alsa-user] No way to record. Here is my /etc/asound.state

[Nicolas Moeri]

Hello,

Config: via82xx (vt8235), microphone plugged on mic in, playing is 
working, using alsa 0.9.7 with 2.4.20 kernel.

Recording is perfectely working on W2K. Playing with alsamixer for 1 
year to find the right solution.
Help would me much appreciated. Here are my /etc/asound.state file and 
amixer output..

Thx a lot,

Nicolas
