Good idea...

But I have finally found the error. It was entirely my fault - sorry.

I did not know, that you explicitely have to state from which channels
you want to record. With my old OPTi931 and OSS/Free, I used before,
this was not neccessiary.

Of course, in alsamixer, I pressed the "R" key, which I thought, could
stand for "record", but it didn't do anything. The fact, that SPACE
stands for "record" is a bit unintuitive... :)

But now, everything works. Great sound!!!

Ciao and thanks
  Christoph
