I see you copied Charlie Kline on the original message, so maybe he will
have some news for you. Basically, non-builtin devices, or at least two
examples of them, the QuickCam and the MacRecorder, don't work. We picked
up the code from Maven at about alpha-12, and that didn't work. We
subsequently updated to (I think) alpha-23 and it didn't work. Charlie
says that somewhere in between those releases it did, at least for the
MacRecorder. I expect the folks at UIUC will have a fix in a while. As to
the fact that you see the VU indication, but just don't get sound, that
happened with the MacRecorder on a IIci also. It happens that you make
calls to the sound manager to determine level seperately from the way you
get the actual audio. Clearly the device and probably the driver is OK.
But something needs to be done differently to get the audio. Stay tuned.

Cheers, -Dick
