The recording doesnt work.
When trying to record, nuthing happens. No errors. Although gnome-meeting
got an error and wonders if i have permission to device. But i tried it
under root and i get the same error. arecord give no error, but just

Lots of notes, but the error somehow disappeared, played i little with the
mixer setting i think. Now it hangs again. I have the strace of arecord

The attached strace shows obviously that the device is blocked.
It's being used by other applications.  It's not a bug at all.

If you get the I/O error (this appears after a certain wait time), it
means the DMA doesn't run properly.  Tuning the "Input Source Select"
often helps in the case of via82xx.

Also, make sure that you have no strange /etc/asound.conf and ~/.asoundrc
for testing.  Use the only default configuration.
