Thank you. Pictures are worth a thousand words! :-)

I have */usr/bin/arecord*

P1630:~ # LS -L /USR/BIN/ARECORD
LRWXRWXRWX 1 ROOT ROOT 5 JAN 18 12:41 /USR/BIN/ARECORD -> APLAY
It appears that on OpenSuSE 11.3 *arecord* is merely a link to *aplay*.
It is also *root* owned, but its permissions are *rwxrwxrwx ("0777")*,
so should be able to be read, written, or executed by anyone, including
the user *andy* (me).

This issue is absolved by the 0777 permission above. Additionally,
*andy* is a member of the group *squeezeplayer*, so this should not be
a problem.

Excellent!! Thank you again. We are making progress, at least in my
comprehension! :-)
So what appears to be *essential* is ***arecord***.
>From your diagram it appears that SBS (and WaveInput) look for
*arecord*.
I have */usr/bin/arecord* on my system.
-But I do not have- *arecordrc*
So do you know of any useful examples of *~/.arecordrc*?
And most importantly, what is the URL I must use: *wavin:???*
As mentioned before, I've googled, but only found generic forms, the
actual details of the *.arecordrc* and *wavin:URL* values elude me...
Thank you again, especially for the picture.. It is starting to make
sense.
Kind regards, Andy
