I have an Audio-technia turntable with USB output and I want to use
audacity to record from it. I have read the sound, mixer, and snd_uaudio
man pages, but am still unable to get the configuration correct. sndstat
shows the device (pcm4) but mixer only lists pcm0, the Conexant CX20590,
which is marked as default in sndstat.

Installed devices:
pcm0: <Conexant CX20590 (Analog 2.0+HP/2.0)> (play/rec) default
pcm1: <Intel Cougar Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm2: <Intel Cougar Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm3: <Intel Cougar Point (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm4: <USB audio> (play/rec)

mixer -f /dev/mixer4 shows:
Mixer vol      is currently set to  75:75
Mixer pcm      is currently set to  75:75
No line or mic.

I tried "cat /dev/dsp4.0" and got the expected stream of "junk" that looks
like it is getting data from the turntable.  "junk" changes when I play
something, so I think the hardware is all working to some degree.

Can anyone suggest where to go from here?
