Just to be sure, could you try % arecord -fdat -c1 -vv foo.wav ??

Hm, not impossible, but I don't guess so.

You can see two commits in http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=fix/hda BTW, the patches are now in the normal sound tree, so you can use alsa-driver snapshot (no unstable version) from now on again :) thanks, Takashi _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
