the recording code in that driver is based on the first datasheet trident
released. i noticed that there were registers that could be used to make
the sb emulation unit do the recording, but it never worked. the code was
left in in case someone else could spot the problem. time passed and
trident released a better datasheet documenting the correct way to record.
the linux driver has implemented this but i've not had time to do so. patch
submissions are welcome.

are your mixer settings right?

if that's a maestro2, i don't think we have recording code for it. if it's
a maestro3 then it should work.

sblive cards are known to work.
