I plugged the radio into my other generic soundcard, which is located on 
/dev/dsp1 (my SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 card is /dev/dsp), and guess what? IT 
WORKS. I am getting audio now after setting things as you suggested. But 
it STILL won't work with the SoundBlaster card, setting things the way 
you suggested there, too. Weird.
