The recording device can also be selected from Device Toolbar in
Audacity. Selecting ALSA:spdif doesn't get me anywhere. The selection
that fetches the Delta 66's first two ADC outputs into Audacity is
labeled "ALSA: M Audio Delta 66: ICE1712 multi (hw:1,0)" This is the
only recording input listed as available to Audacity from the Delta 66.
These correspond to the first two physical (analog) input jacks on the
breakout box. I haven't had any luck changing the audio stream
delivered from the various controls on bus channels exposed in
alsamixer, envy24control or Gnome volume control.

Yes, the CLI-based alsamixer seems, in some ways, to be the best of the
several mixers and control UIs available for the Delta 66, although
envy24control isn't bad. I've played with settings for the card in
alsamixer a good deal.
Thanks.
