[mythtv-users] Upgraded ALSA, lost all capture ability, help

[Chris Germano]

I just upgraded to ALSA 1.0.3 from 0.9.8 using gentoo emerge. I emerged all
the stuff: alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-oss and alsa-driver for EMU10k1. They
all built and installed fine, and they worked perfectly before. As of right
now playback works perfectly but all of my capture stuff is gone! I can't
capture anything, I go into alsamixer and nothing has a capture capability.
What should I do to get it back? I can't do any recording until this is
fixed, please I need to get this fixed!

Amixer for my line in has now changed, losing the capture capability:
Simple mixer control 'Line',0  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
Simple mixer control 'Line',0  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined
cswitch cswitch-joined cswitch-ex

When I copy back backed up asound.state to /etc/asound.state and restart
ALSA:
root at server root # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
 * Loading ALSA drivers...
 * Using ALSA OSS emulation
 * Loading: snd-seq-oss
 * Loading: snd-pcm-oss
 * Running card-dependent scripts
 * Restoring Mixer Levels
