Well, -f S16_LE -r 48000 -c 2 is identical to -f dat and actually also
results in a mute file.
What version of Audacity are you using?
1.1.1. Note that there is no problem in *playing* files with audacity.

It does - I have one on my machine! arecord -f

You may have to set -c 2 as well to get stereo, this is not the default. Alsio the hardware device maybe.
In the meantime I checked modules.conf by the great c't article of Frank
Barknecht. Everything seems to be okay there. But I could not find
/etc/asoundrc or ~/.asoundrc. May be this is the reason for my problem -
I am going to find out next.
As for low level - are you sure the DAT is correctly
leveled? After all,
these tools do nothing with the level except if explicitly (and kindly)
asked.
Yes, arecord seems to be exactly what I need for a 1:1 DAT copy.
Nevertheless I still can only record mono files with definitely much
lower level than the input signal (which takes the full range of the
envy24control meters). Moreover I found out that xmms and audiacity play
it a bit faster and higher than the original data, even though I always
use the DAT's master clock! :-(
By the way: Does anybody know, what HardwareSettings -> VolumeChange
means in envy24control?
Ciao,

The problem there is that your DAT is probably at 44100 and your card
defaults to 48000. Check in envy24control.

Hallo,

Your problem probably is, that you are *not* recording from your
digital input, but from the device called "default", which arecord
uses by default. "default" corresponds to "plughw:0W unless you
changed something in asoundrc (but you didn't do this).
To record from digital-in you need to tell arecord about this.
"arecord --help" gives the needed options, "arecord -L" shows the
possible devices (but many more than you need) and "arecord -D NAME"
selects a device called "NAME".
Although I also have the Audiophile, I don't have any digital audio
gear, so I never tried to record from that and thus I don't know the
name of the digital ALSA device off-hand, but maybe someone else here
does?
BTW: OSS emulation on the Audiophile can be a bit tricky sometimes
because of the chipset, so you should try to use ALSA wherever
possible with this card.
ciao

Please upgrade...
... if alone because dmix'ing as I described in c't will not work with
this ALSA version and the Audiophile. ;)
arecord -f S16_LE -r 48000 test.wav
