mixer strangeness?

[mal content]

Hi.

I have a (crappy) old Soundblaster Live PCI card in this machine,
using the snd_emu10k driver. I'm trying to work out whether this
is the fault of the driver or some strange userland mixer settings.

Essentially mixer shows:

Mixer vol      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer pcm      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer speaker  is currently set to   0:0
Mixer line     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer mic      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer cd       is currently set to   0:0
Mixer rec      is currently set to 100:100
Mixer igain    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer line1    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phin     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phout    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer video    is currently set to   0:0
Recording source: mic

Surely, with the above settings, there should be no output at
all? There appears to be no way to actually set the output volume
with mixer on this card (you always get output, at full volume).

Also, mixer shows the recording source as mic when it's actually
rec.

What's going on here? Any ideas?
