Yes, I agree, doesn't seem related to anything in particular.

I am running version 0.9.8 of the alsa-driver, and the problem is still
there.

Well, try doing the ADC thing and let me know if it works for you. This
has the advantage that you don't have to shut down the application you
are using.

Good question, I wish I knew. I guess I'll try enabling debugging output
in the cs46xx driver. I am particulary interested in knowing what
happens when you toggle capture of the ADC channel in alsamixer.
