[UFO Chicago] line-in device?

[lists@redboy.cx]

After a little playing around, I found that the -i specifies IGain on my PC, not line in. I tried aumix -q -l R, but now Audacity complains of an error opening the audio device. Since last writing, the only thing I've changed on my system is the record source as indicated above, and lsof | grep -i dsp shows nothing. I'm not running esd or karts or any of that stuff. Curious, no?

So, after I spent a half-hour trying to find some old relic to play these dinosaurs from my youth, I found that audacity wasn't being cooperative. When I play the tape into the line-in jack on my sound card, I can hear it through my speakers, but audacity doesn't hear anything at all. I've been playing around with the mixers to no avail. I'm wondering if I have audacity pointed at the wrong device for recording. I'm using the cs46xx.o OSS driver for my Fortissimo II card, and the device is /dev/dsp0. Any suggestions?
