Okay, the "fallback" works -- recordings made with it do have good audio. And.. my hypothesis appears to be true thus far: once the audio fails, requiring the fallback, it stays failed until the driver is reloaded. Every subsequent recording made (after a "fallback") also experiences the fallback. This is with a good channel, with good audio. Subsequent recordings using the exact same channel.
.. Mmm.. further to that: the problem went away as soon as I told it to tune to a different channel. No more fallbacks (for now). It can now even retune the original channel without fallbacks. So.. tuning to a new channel appears to fix whatever the bad state was that was triggering the fallbacks. Based on my sample of one, anyway. ;) Now that it is behaving again, I cannot poke further until the next time I'm lucky enough to be around when it fails.
Weird, eh. I wonder how to discover the real cause? Good workaround, though! Thanks.
