Yeah, I know how to do playback only (thanks - see the tests for results
of -P).  The emi 2|6 has no mic pres and I don't have a line level
source to feed it atm so I can't do capture only tests... as of now I
havent gotten it to actually capture anything, that'll be the next round
of testing.

I'm also playing around with -n with some preliminarily good results...
I'll post a followup in a while.
