Will alsa with the 2.6 kernel work without dmasound and/or allow
recording?  I would like to believe its true.  I (and many others) am
using alsa and as far as I can see have only playback available.

On the alsa mailing list I've asked if the reason for no recording is
due a lack of specs for the sound chip or a lack of desire and time on
the developer end. I've yet to get a response. Does anyone here know?

For me, its the last thing that keeps my powerbook from being fully
functional.
