Seems that the VT8235 has some issues with ac97 recording. Using aumix,
and setting the input to line-in, cat /dev/dsp returns the same byte over
and over again, as if there is no signal. Dumping this file and dumping
back to /dev/dsp confirms the silence - no sound got record. Messing
around with the mixer doesn't appear to do much. The mixer subsystem, I
can control the volume of line-in and line-out, and hear the volume going
up and down. I also tried Windows, seems it works fine in Windows.

I tried the same command sequence on my SiS735 (i810-compatible) AC97
machine and the results differ (it works :-) So it seems that there's
something that's wrong with the kt8235 side of things?

Playback works fine. Just cannot record. Is the kt8235 driver not quite
primetime yet?

Thanks,
