Indeed, perhaps I was trying to be more clever than I really am, and it
did produce something of a mess. (-:

This is the entire output from /var/log/kernel when I run alsaconf:

I've followed these instructions and nothing comes out of standard
output with arecord (neither timemachine+jack, gnome-sound-recorder, nor
audacity+OSS emulation and portaudio-18.1). I've attached the output of
