[ILUG] recording audio

[Conor Daly]

Or should I say "Failing to record audio"?

I'm trying to record from a tape deck hooked up to the sound card 
(SB AWE32).  I'm using 

/usr/bin/rec -d /dev/audio -f a -s w -r 44100 -c 2 kipper.wav

which spawns sox like this:

sox -t ossdsp /dev/audio -a -w -r 44100 -c 2 kipper.wav

The tape plays back through the sound card, I can control the playback
volume with gmix on the "line in" channel but I get only hiss in the wav
file (which grows properly while sox is running).  Can anyone point me to
a suitable sox line (or other proggie) to record audio?  I've already
tried grecord which produces no output.
