I can't get Krecord to work either.  So, any help with that in Debian 
Sarge would be good.  Sound for everything else works fine.  Mozart, 
Beethoven and so forth sounds much better than Alsa and the same 
speakers on SuSE 9.2.  So, I'm happy enough with KDE 3.3.1 in Debian.

I'm using the 2.6.8-1-k7 kernel with a 1.2Mhz AMD CPU and an Ensoniq 
PCI audio card.
