[LAU] Can't capture sound.

[S. Massy]

Hi,

I'm writing on the off-chance that someone else has encountered this
problem or has an inkling of how it could be solved.

I have a Mac Mini and would like to use the line-in jack to perform some
very simple voice recording. When enabling Line monitoring in alsamixer,
I can hear the input fine, but no amount of fiddling with arecord has
yet enabled me to capture any audio. There are three subdevices, and I
have all set them to line input with capture switch to true. Then, I've done
$ arecord -D hw:0,[0-2] -f cd test[0-2].wav
...but to no avail.

It's not of deadly importance, but it does drive me crazy that I can
monitor the input and yet not capture it.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
S.M.
