[mythtv-users] How do I get SBLive mixer to cooperate w / ALSA

[Mark]

I've been running myth on Mandrake 9.1 for about 6 months. Had no
problems other than LIRC never working.  This weekend, I decided to
upgrade to MDK 9.2.  I saved my ALSA configuration in modules.conf
to my home partition and installed away.  Afterwards, I copied my 
modules.conf back to /etc and rebooted.  My sound cards appear to
work, but no matter what I do, I can't get the loopthrough working right.

Symptoms:  I muted and set capture on Line input.
Run XAWTV and aplay /dev/dsp in a console.
This gives nothing.  IF, however, I set the CAPTURE
slider in ALSAMIXER to capture, it then plays.  BUT, it's 
not able to mute.  SO, I have two streams, one the live one, 
and one the aplay stream.  If I have aplay going in the background
and turn off capture on the capture slider, I get a couple seconds of
sound, then silence.  Seems to me like there's another sound path
somewhere, but I can't find it.  I set the Line slider to MUTE, but it doesn't 
seem to do anything.  And, I looked in the archives for a couple hours, and
didn't find anything relevant.  Anybody got any ideas?  The whole setup worked
fine in 9.1, including the ALSA config I had going.  The only thing I didn't 
save for reinstall was the Alsa mixer settings, because I figured how hard 
could it be right?  Dummy me....
