Shortly put, you should be able to record with "ecasound -i /dev/dsp -o
somefile.wav". If that doesn't work, something is wrong.

Have you checked your mixer settings (line-in/mic-in enabled, volume
levels, input gain, etc)? How about other apps? Does recording work with
them? Can you give as concrete examples of what you've been trying to do
(command-line parameters you've used, etc)?

Hmm, this really shouldn't happen. Ecasound cli interpreter runs in a
separate thread and thus doesn't directly affect the processing side.

Btw; does playback work without problems?
