Trying to record I'll get popup errors alright.
When nothing seems to happen during recording I stop it.
Then I'll get the so called recording on the screen. It's just a long thi=
n=20
line. Not a sound at all I presume.

Well, I can manipulate the linein sound with the volume and the linein to=
ggles=20
on the mixer. Clicking the little box at each one doesn't make a differen=
t at=20
all.

You mean clicking the little box at e.g. CD or inline or...?
That doesn't do a thing. I hear the sound anyway but no change whatsoever=
 in=20
recording.
I wonder if these are the right ones from the beginning? Take the CD togg=
les.=20
Wich CD is that? Is it /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd? Can I change this in a=20
preference somewhere?
And the linein? Where is that coming from? What is the "device" linein ca=
lled.=20
Can I change that somewhere?
I can load an existing wav-file and play and manipulate it, but I don't g=
et=20
anything at all from linein and CD. I've not tried mic because I don't ha=
ve=20
one.

I've tried that. I could hear the inline sond. I started sox with "rec=20
test.wav" and this file was created. With the right playing time but no=20
sound.
Testing aumix with the CD didn't get anything. Wich device is the CD anyw=

And I all the time get the question to load a file. How do you load a fil=
e=20
from a music CD?
