Well my problem is that playthrough has been enabled, and I don't want
it to be (or I should say, I want to have control over it). I can't
figure out where to turn this off/on. All of the obvious system
control panels don't seem to have a setting for this. Using command
line tools for ALSA, I don't see anything either. I wouldn't expect it
to be turned on by default. I have been able to record audio in
audacity, so samples are being passed up to the application. Now I
have a weird situation where audacity says that the audio i/o system is
unavailable. Playthrough is working... speaker-test works. Various
audio players are able to play CD audio and open and play sounds files.
Linux audio is a bit byzantine compared to what I'm used to... there
appear to be several interacting layers, and control panels in various
places. If anyone has suggestions or pointers to a good
linux-audio-howto or getting started that explains all of this, I'd
appreciate it.
thanks,
darren

Well, playthrough can bei two things:
* The soundcard's input gets immediately visible on it's
output, without going through your computer. Everything is
done in the soundcard. Try a mixer application to enable this
* You want to take the input signal, work on it maybe with
jack-rach and put the changed signal out again. Try jack
according to the videos, or any other application which can
alter and output the incoming material.
Let us know what you try to do so we can certainly can give
some hints how to reach the desired results.
