I got an error message - this is quite exciting - until now I just had silently failing programs.
I realised that there was a program installed (yes, by me!) arecord. This I thought was great, and after maning it, executed the following command: root@client:~# arecord -f cd testa.wav -d=12 Recording WAVE 'testa.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stere arecord: pcm_read:1049: read error: Input/output error No result on google. Noone is ever in #alsa on opn, and I have been fighting this a while now - any suggestions welcomed.
