Not clear to waht it corresponds on my card. I have an
onboard chip essentially intel ich9.

Hum, if I enable the line playback I am not sure that what I
hear is waht is actually captured. In fact when modifying
capture volume it does not change anything in what I
hear. That's why I whanted to use ecasound to monitor
actually what is being recorded.

Hum I don't see to waht it corresponds on my own chip.

Yep but line playback is not capture playback in my opinion.

I mean taht I can hear small sequences of sound of half a
second separated by blanks ! As if playback were continuously
interrupted. When using a loop as recommanded by Julien this
problem does not occur any longer.
