I had already unmuted everything before posting my question. With
enough microphone boost, I have a hissing noise. I didn't know about
alsasound being a daemon until today. With alsasound running, mencoder
and ffmpeg and arecord now *THINK* that they are recording a sound
channel. That's an "improvement", because they used to say "noaudio"
before. But still nothing gets recorded. Here is a sample command I
tried.
arecord -f cd -t wav -c 2 -D plughw:0 foobar.wav
Maybe I should go and buy an external microphone already.
