Audacity can't record from line channel

[Noisema]

In short the problem is as follows:

I'm trying to record some music from an external source. I have it connected to my soundcard (a terratec Xfire 1024, with an CS4294 chip on it (according to the alsa mixer). The driver for the soundcard is the CS46xx , module. I can hear the external device, and I can adapt te soundvolume with the alsamixer. Unfortunately, if I want to record something with Audacity, the spectrummeter is nog showing any activity (no peaks).

I selected the line input in the program itself, but it's not recording the audio. I checked the record box in the alsa mixer, but Audacity doesn't seem to hear anything?

I left everything with the default settings, except for changing the recording source (which has to be the line channel).

Rest of the audio is working fine, it seems that I cannot record from the line-in input.
Maybe it has something to do with that after a while the left channel starts to give a low output, and gives a hissing sound (could be a alsa bug, as I have it compiled as a module).

Here's what I have:

Terratec XFire 1024 (module 46xx)
Kernel 2.6.3-gentoo-dev-sources
Audacity uses /dev/dsp for the soundsource for recording/playing (playing from within the program works fine).

Anyone knows what could be the problem?

Thnx.

Anyone got a clue?

Are you using arts? Audacity won't record a thing for me unless a 'killall artsd' is done first.
