Re: [PLUG] Casette recording to mp3

[Lee Marzke <lee@marzke.net>]

If it were that easy, hopefully I wouldn't be asking.

With Line in connected I get audio in the speakers.  great.

Double clicking the volume control brings up a Gnome mixer.  I can
chose either ALSA or OSS mode on the mixers,   and both mode seem
to allow setting levels.

However ALL of the audio application, including Audacity that I just
installed just record a flat line of silence.

If I change Audacity to ALSA, it claims it can't connect to the audio
card.   Switching back to OSS give no error, but no sound.

I'm sure it has something to do with ALSA, OSS, Jackd, and all other
changes in the sound processing.

THanks,

Lee
