OK, you have been of great help -- just one more question -- or
rather two, I cannot find a control for the pcm out, although other
things are set up which say value 'PCM OUT' I cannot find a control
labelled 'PCM OUT' to either capture or do anything about. Also what
are h/w in 0 through 7 and what are the multi capture switches and
volumes 1 through 9. I think I am slowly getting to understand this,
but it is a bit confusing.
Thank you for all your help.
