ok - i've figured out what i need to do ... (i use qamix as my mixer ...
least confusing for me ... so i'm using that as my reference here):

1) in the "playback" tab of qamix, there are 3 sections - "master",
"stereo", and "surround". in the "stereo" section, there are volume
sliders for "pcm", "wave", and "music". leave the "pcm" and "music"
sliders at a suitable playback level, and set the "wave" slider to "0".

yep - that's all i needed to do, and i can now record extra tracks into
ardour without the previously recorded tracks being merged in.

as you can probably tell, i don't really have any idea what the
difference between "pcm" and "wave" volume is ... all i know is that if
i use the default device - "hw:0,0" -  then it makes no effect on the
recorded input if the "wave" volume is up or not ... i guess the
difference is the result of your patch :)

anyways, i guess that makes this patch my default alsa driver now, heh,
heh ...

brilliant, brilliant work lee!!
