It seems that I can record a stereo "overdub"! I was trying to record the default "mono" "overdub" and that did not work. My setup connects a microphone (through a tiny Peavey RQ 200 six channel mini console), which made the mono appear on both L&R channels of the stereo input to the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 board. So that is my "workaround": record stereo, split stereo, delete superfluous track/channel. I still think this is a bug! If alsa and/or audacity require a constraint (no "mono" only "stereo"), then that should be "forced" through parameter defaults and selections. However, I'm not exactly sure why (either alsa or audacity) cannot correctly just select one of the input channels from the data stream. I guess they just don't know enough about the Audiophile board? So, should I follow this up on alsa-dev? or with the audiology folks? I'm curious. Have any of you with any of the other M-Audio boards been able to record a mono "overdub" (to already existing file(s)) with audacity? In other words, is this a problem with just my Audiophile board, or with all M-Audio (and other? ice1712? envy24?) boards?
