Yeah, I was planning on getting a Blue Yeti, but the Scot in me came out 
and I saw a no-name brand on Amazon that was a 1/4 of the price!


Yes you are correct this mic does not have a playback channel, so is 
probably the reason rivendell does not see it automatically.

Check the contents of the directory /proc/asound/card? where "?"

I've got a Yeti Blue USB mic here and Rivendell sees it just fine. But
since it has a headphone jack, I guess it presents a playback channel to
ALSA... Maybe your mic doesn't have any playback capability at all?

The code in utils/rdalsaconfig/ looks like it is also restricting it's
"lookup" of ALSA devices to ones that support the currently selected
sample rate (RDAdmin->System Settings). So rdalsaconfig might not see
your device if it doesn't support the current rate?

I didn't study too deeply, but these are some hunches from just glancing

Check the contents of the directory /proc/asound/card? where "?"

Yes I tried rdalsaconfig under root. Only my main card the M-audio shows,
but not the USB mic.
I'm thinking as this is not a "full" card only a recording device it
probably requires a manual add And I know ALSA sees the USB mic as
running arecord -l shows it as an available recording device.

Have you run RDAlsaConfig as root? If you installed Rivendell the 
"usual" way on CentOS/Red Hat/etc. it's on the Applications menu under 
Rivendell -> Configuration -> RDAlsaConfig

This utility enables you to assign ALSA devices to be used with 
Rivendell. See the Wiki article at 
http://wiki.rivendellaudio.org/index.php/Configuring_Rivendell_to_work_with_ALSA
 
for more details.

Hope this helps!

Did you run

and does it show the USB microphone in the 

Available Sound Devices  



or does it show up in
