I've been discussing this with Jaromir Koutek <miri@punknet.cz>
author of the ESS driver.  My impression (and from inspection of the Feb 10 
cvs snapshot) is that the recording functionality is not currently
implemented, have you started implementing it?  If so, I'd be more
than glad to help your efforts, currently I've just looked so far at
actually doing it and not actually cut any code.

He pointed me at: <ftp://alsa.jcu.cz/pub/manuals/DS_1946.PDF>

Alternatively there's stuff at <ftp://ftp.esstech.com.tw/PCIAudio/Solo1/ES1938/>

Yours
Mark
