Maybe. My UCA-202 records fine using Audacity. I couldn't get arecord to
record anything from it, but I wasn't really trying that hard. When I try to
record using JACK, JACK fails to start up, reporting something about an
impossible sample size.
My feeling based on the original poster's info is that his device is only
marginally supported by ALSA.
Indeed, it is probably the cheapest thing available. But contrary to
your experience, I still couldn't get audacity to work, but arecord
worked just fine. That's probably some mismatch on what kind of
quality audio audacity is expecting though, and the same is probably
true of your device.
Mine works with Audacity with no problems. I don't know if it works with
arecord - didn't put the time into figuring out arecord's command line
options to find it out. While JACK just barfs. Hard to figure, why JACK
and ALSA work fine for output through it, but not input, while Audacity
works fine for both input and output.
Anyway, this is a Lenny system, planning to upgrade it to a Sid system.
That will bring in newer ALSA and JACK, so if it's an issue buried in
ALSA or JACK, perhaps it will be fixed.
