Maybe your soundcard can't do simultaneous stereo capture and playback?
Try:
sox -t ossdsp -r 44100 -w -c 2 /dev/dsp -t ossdsp -r 44100 -w -c 2
/dev/dsp
(you may have to install sox first)
or even perhaps:
arecord -f S16_LE -c2 -r44100 | aplay -f S16_LE -c2 -r44100
That should set most of the options Myth is using. 2 Channels,
44100kHz, 16bit samples. If your sample rate is different in myth for
record or playback you should change it on that command line too.
If *that* works even, my next guess is that perhaps you can't do
something while the mixer device is open.
