I'd like to second that.  I messed around extensively with an old Ensoniq
card, got a new cheapie card and it still didn't work.  I can use amixer
or alsmixer to set the levels on line and it _works_.  Kmix does NOT.  If
I go into kmix and set line to 'capture, mute' sound in myth stops working
until I 'undo' it in alsamixer.  I think the howto should be updated to
reflect this stangeness.
