I carefully looked the output of your audictl. This is mine for fully working Sound Blaster Live Audio Card (including full duplex). Is that what you have?
$ audioctl name=SB Live! version=0x07 config=emuxki encodings=ulinear:8,mulaw:8*,alaw:8*,slinear:8*,slinear_le:16,\ ulinear_le:16*,slinear_be:16*,ulinear_be:16* properties=full_duplex,mmap,independent full_duplex=0 fullduplex=0 blocksize=8192 hiwat=8 lowat=6 output_muted=0 monitor_gain=0 mode= play.rate=48000 play.channels=2 play.precision=16 play.encoding=slinear_le play.gain=255 play.balance=32 play.port=0x0 play.avail_ports=0x0 play.seek=0 record.samples=0 record.eof=0 record.pause=0 record.error=0 record.waiting=0 record.open=0 record.active=0 record.buffer_size=65536 record.block_size=8192 record.errors=0 I am running 4.5/i386 stable with bsd.mp kernel. The only thing I personally could notice is that your version is 0x00 and mine is 0x07. When did you purchase your Audio Card? I think that they are monkeying with the chip-sets in the new cards and the driver might have a problem. Cheers, Predrag
