[Alsa-user] Problem with a Terratec DMX6Fire (ice1712)

[Bjoern P. <bj...@da...>]

Hi,
i've got an Terratec DMX 6Fire since a few days. 
So far it works with Alsa ( alsamIxer says 1.0.3) and the ice1712 driver.
But there are some problems with recording: The Card has several inputs 
(Digital, Line in, Phono..) but the driver handles these inputs as multitrack 
inputs, so I only can record from the line-in jack when I start at least a 
6-Channel recording ( with audacity ) with the line-in signal appearing on 
Channel 5&6. This works for Audacity but other apps like Skype or other 
"simple" recording apps will be left out.
In fact, i only need the "Line-in" input since there is an Audio-mixer 
connected to it managing all my input devices.  
So is it possible to map Channel 5&6 to 0&1 or to another device, let's 
say /dev/linein?



any help would be appreciated,


thanks,
Bjoern
