'rec input' is always 'sound mix' on Audigy and later cards, even if =
mixer=20
says anything else (it does not query AC97 codec, but uses a cached =
value).

This means "send all PCM data multiplied by .74 to playback and =
multiplied=20
by .75 to recording". You record all sound you play (with lower volume).

Your card has three mixers, and this seems to confuse you - one of them =
is=20
AC97 mixer (you can change it with mixer(8)), the second one is EMU10K1=20
DSP-based (you can access it with emuctrl) and the third one is inside=20
24bit/192kHz "p16v" interface (hardwired in current driver). _Recording_ =

output from AC97 is an input to DSP (usually in0). Playback output from
AC97 is always muted.

If you disable everything in (AC97) mixer, you still can get sound on=20
recording bus if you have non-zero RecVol in emuctrl (DSP mixer).

You can visit http://chibis.persons.gfk.ru/audigy/#routing to look for=20
sound routing scheme (inside DSP).
