Hmmm. I had a branestorm yesterday and tried one last thing I had
thought of to see if it would fix sound recording under 4.0, but
it made no difference. (different compiler for the kernel) So...
I've had good luck with audio recording under 3.4, and no success
with 4.0. All the SB cards I have completely fail to record with
4.0, and they do work with 3.4 although in mono. I hope to look
into the mono/stereo issue sometime since I've a big pile of SB 16
type cards.
Has anyone got 4.0 working with recording from any soundcards?
There are several I don't have, but the best result I've had has
been a static-filled recording from a SB PCI 128 or PCI 16. I've
always been able to get clean, quiet recording from 3.4, so I'd
say you should stick with 3.x for audio recording applications,
and do not expect 4.0 to work, at least for now.

I don't use liveice, but I have one machine sending out about ten
streams from icecast, with a few 3.4 machines with one to four
soundcards each doing the live encoding, using `screamto' where you
would be using icecast. This has been rock-solid for me for months.
