I seem to be having problems in getting the sound recorded with a Hauppauge WinTV Theater and a Soundblaster Live! I'm able to play back sound from a DVD using Xine.
The Line output from a VCR is connected to the Line Input on the Win TV card, The Line out phone plug is plugged into the Line Input of the sound card. Internally, the CD is connected to the CDIn and the CD passthough from the WinTV card is connected to Aux In.
The Audio Device in the capture Card Setup is set to /dev/dsp, No audio rate sampling limit is set, volume is not set to be adjusted.
In the Frontend, Audio Output device is set to /dev/dsp, passthough Output Device is set to Default. The mixer device is set to /dev/mixer and is set to PCM. Master mixer volume is set to 85, PCM mixer volume is set to 82.

So as you can see, there's nothing obvious here
So scambling for some other info, I run aplay (which plays /usr/share/sounds/testing.wav OK)

I'm scratching my head here, though I've got the feeling it's something really, really simple.
