Thanks for the report, Erik, and congrats on your success in getting 
gnome-sound-recorder working on your system! 

I have tried several alsamixer settings, but have not realized any 
success thus far.  Gnome-volume-control on my FC2 system seems a bit 
more involved than the mixer settings referenced in the bug #169441 
report comments and trikes me as the mixer from hell.  I'll give a few 
more settings a shot before trying the ATrpms that Steffen Kluge was 
kind enough to bring to our attention.

The sound chips in my system are on the mobo rather than on a detachable 
sound card.  Gnome-volume-control displays slider and button settings on 
two tabs - one labeled  VIA 8235 [Alsamixer] and one labeled Realtek 
ALC650E [OSS Mixer].  Alsamixer displays  33 sliders  for 21 "functions" 
or channels, seven of which show record buttons.  The OSS Mixer tab 
presents 18 sliders for 12 functions/channels, 8 of which have record 
buttons (on/off).  If I ignore the OSS Mixer settings (mute them), I 
have no sound at all.  Turning on all record options in both mixers does 
not work either.
