 Probably more exciting info somewhere but the above may help. 
Thank you. There is some information about installing and OSS emulation,
but unfortunately nothing helpful about how to use envy24control.

 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.

 man arecord maybe. 
In the meantime I tried to use arecord (which unfortunately does not
provide man pages) to avoid OSS emulation problems:

 arecord -f dat test.wav

produces mute files again. However it works with

 arecord -f S16_LE -r 48000 test.wav

*but* this results in a mono file with too low signal level.

I also did not succeed in playing around with the
recording/muting/volume settings of alsamixer. :-(
