(-oac copy, no chance for a bad codec). With Alsa, both the "Line" and "Capture" devices must be marked as "Captur" and non-zero volume (though they can be muted). No clue about Pluse, nor do I care to find out (ugh! Alsa is bad enough on its own...). And use a real audio codec, like PCM at worst... not "copy". -- Ha. I'm the idiot.
