Hi Len!
Clemens has just pointed out to me on the ALSA dev list, as you had rightly

guessed, that all my devices inputs get routed through its single pair of

stereo capture ports according to its datasheet.
I did have a quick go at recording from these inputs when I had the spdif

input connected to my CD player but no dice. I was using a CDR as source so

copy protection wasn't an issue.
As I think I've already stated, I have zero experience with using SPDIF

under Linux or any other OS so I don't know the snags and pitfalls. Could

the fact that I was using a (44.1K) CD stream as input been a prob as JACK

was running at 48K? I also had the mic, line in and SPDIF all enabled for

capture so another thing I'll have to try later is only having SPDIF

capture enabled.
Thanks for your help!

Did you check to see if the spdif audio was showing up on the two &qu=

ot;mic"

inputs? With either audacity or jack.
