And I've found that when going direct to .ogg if the record slider isn't toggled apropriately, one ends up with a very small .ogg file even after lettnig it record for sometime. That's a clue that no (or at the very least, not enough) data is being sent to and from the sound card. I suppose the card needs to be 'full-duplex' in order to make this work - maybe not. But most of the modern sound cards probably are. (That lets you talk and record at the same time, useful for PC Phone type stuff, fwiw.)
