Mounting the DAT recorder?! Sounds interesting... ;-)
Why are you using such an old version of alsa?
Perhaps this is the way SuSE does it (?:-)
Right, this is part of SuSE 8.2.
But how can I
record the data?
What do you mean by 'data'? If you just want the data, surely there is some
kind of way of 'mounting' the tape drive directly - As if it was a Tape
ARchive and then using standard tools to copy it where you want it - 'dd' ?
You probably haven't read enough, and my
experience is that it's easy to
overcomplicate matters. There may be a simpler solution. Oh yeah, and you
need to ask clearer questions.
What I want to have is a 1:1 copy of the audio data of a DAT deck. For
this I use its SPDIF-out and plug it to the SPDIF-in of the Audiophile.
Using envy24control I can route the signal to the cards internal mixer
or to its outputs. But how can I record it to an audio file?
Recording with Audacity results in a mute file. In its preferences I
found the sole option /dev/dsp as recording device.
I am determined to read more about it if you can tell me *what* to
read...

Does this have something to do with Audacity only working with OSS sound
drivers?
I think it can be made to work, either by later versions of Audacity
having ALSA support or by using ALSA's OSS emulation, but as you can
probably tell, I haven't tried this. I am using Audacity with OSS,
which works fine for my purposes, including recording via S/PDIF input.

sense.

Try changing /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp0. Usually /dev/dsp is a link to
/dev/dsp0 but not always. Also, can you see the signal in
envy24control? If not, then you have to adjust the input levels
externally. I'm using a DSP24 card and I record from vinyl to digital
using Audacity. The difference is that I'm using a pair of the analog
inputs. I was under the impression that there might be a problem with
the SPDIF inputs on the envy24 chipset cards with ALSA but I could be
wrong. I've never used SPDIF on my system (don't have any digital stuff
;-)
