Finally got my FC3 box to record audio streams successfully! In the
end it was a simple configuration issue. I was unclear about the
"capture" switch in amixer. The man page indicated that I could only
have one "capture" device active at a time, but I didn't realize that
meant the "capture" switch had to be on as well as a device unmuted
and active. In amixer that looked like 2 devices to me . After
muddling around, it all became clear as I looked at the
/etc/asound.state file. 

Fernando, thanks for pointing me toward the ALSA emu10k1x site.
Though I had used it to compile the ALSA module for my system, your
reference made me think perhaps I had missed something. I had. There
was a clear reference that ALSA supported "capture" for this chip!
That told me it should work, which I was beginning to doubt. There
are still some remaining issues that I need to work out to get
time-shifted radio, but at least I have one piece to the puzzle.

Thanks,
Ron
