[Alsa-user] USB audio recording

[Jos L. <jo...@ra...>]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to this forum but a long-term music/geek.  Here's what's
going on for me.

I'm trying to do multi-track recording using 'Audacity' on Linux.  I'm
using:

RedHat Linux 9
ALSA driver 1.0.4
Audacity 1.2.0
Creative Labs SoundBlaster MP3+ USB Audio Adapter

In 'Audacity' I can record via the line-in, but the only other options
listed for recording are 'pcm' and pcm2', no 'line-in'.  Neither one
of these 'pcm' thingies works when using the SB-MP3+'s 'line-in' jacks.

Has anybody else seen this kind of problem?  Any pointers to good
resources?  Any advice?

Also, how does 'snd-usb-audio' interact with 'audio.o' that ships with
RedHat 9?  In order to get anything to work under 'ALSA', I need to
manually 'insmod snd-mixer-oss' and 'insmod 'snd-pcm-oss'.  This seems
to pull in 'audio.o'.  Is this correct?  Any clues?

Thanks in advance to anybody who can help!

Best Regards,
~Jos~
