Try ecasound for starters. It is great commandline software for multichannel recording and I have tested it with 1010LT. http://eca.cx/ecasound/ 10 channel recording goes like: ecasound -f 32,10,96000 -i alsa -o 10ch.wav -f is the format; 32 bit, 10 channels, 96000Hz You might need to specify the alsa device to use, if your motherboard soundcrap^H^H^Hcard uses alsa too > The little drop-down menu in Audacity for selecting the source (line-in, mic, > etc) is empty and the input and output sliders seem to have no effect. I'm not sure if this has something to do with Audacity not being natively alsa-compatible. It uses alsa through Portaudio, but I don't know whether that's same as natively using alsa. You could try getting oss-drivers for Delta1010LT (they are nowadays free of charge from www.opensound.com) but I really can't say if that does the trick. Better ways may exist, like ecasound and ardour http://www.ardour.org > Any helpful tips or pointers would sure be appreciated.
