 This seems to work, the audio gets captured (and can be played)
 correctly. Here is what I did:
 # Start jackd with the dummy backend
 jackd -d dummy
 # Add the alsa device via alsa_in
 alsa_in -d hw:0 -c 2
 # Capture via jack_capture
 jack_capture -b 32 -c 2 -d 10 -fn /tmp/test-jack_capture.wav \ -p
 alsa_in:capture_1 -p alsa_in:capture_2
 # Capture via jackrec
 jackrec -f /tmp/test-jackrec.wav -d 10 -b 32 alsa_in:capture_1
 alsa_in:capture_2
 What I also observed is the fact, that capturing 10 seconds
 (jack_capture -d 10 ...) directly from the "-d alsa" jackd takes around
 40 seconds (real 0m40.457s) vs. 10 seconds (as one would expect) with
 the "-d dummy" jackd (real 0m10.339s)
 So I guess we're one step closer.
 
now that's an interesting find .. in theory it should not make a
difference if jack uses alsa backend or if you attach via alsa_in but
obviously it *does* make a difference.
40 seconds is the length when played at 12k.
4 x 8 bit also fit into 32 bit. something is fishy.
 Thanks a lot for your help
