Yes - on SuSE 9.3 (although I had the problem this morning on SuSE
10.0 - I will also be checking to see if I get the same result on this
box to double check that the female end of the physical connection
isn't the issue).

I noticed that some audio applications were open (I was trying
different applications and I didn't write down which ones - sorry for
the oversight!), so I closed them and tried entering "arecord" again -
this time I got:

RIFF$WAVEfmt @example.com WAVE 'stdout' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono

Is that the problem?  "Mono" - Shouldn't that be "Stereo"?  Also,
shouldn't it be 16,000Hz?
