Okay. I have switched back to using irq5 (which is unused in my
system). It's really nice with this plug-and-play, that you can switch
around the settings - even if it means recompiling the kernel :-)

/usr/sbin/mixer also has problems. There seems to be only two volume
settings (the same goes for bass, treble etc.):

   mixer +=sound,
   vol   -=nosound

Okay, I have tried recording with various settings

Here is output from ``ktrace pcmio +rec,stereo,8000,s16 4:0
/tmp/test3''. It seems it never returns from the first read. I have to
stop the program using Ctrl-C, and then wait a couple of second
(5-10). Then syslog says: ``timeout flushing dma2, cnt 0x0 flags 0x00000551.''

       "-- format 8000,stereo,0x00000010, len 4 skip 0
       "
  5352 pcmio    RET   write 47/0x2f
  5352 pcmio    CALL  open(0xefbfdc89,0x601,0x1b4)
  5352 pcmio    NAMI  "/tmp/test3"
  5352 pcmio    RET   open 4
  5352 pcmio    CALL  write(0x2,0xefbfd478,0x1a)
  5352 pcmio    GIO   fd 2 wrote 26 bytes
