sound input from /dev/dsp

Hi, I'm writing an application that writes to and reads from the sound device (/dev/dsp), and have been having some trouble with the Burgundy input sound device driver (the sound out seems to work fine). I can run the same application on a machine with the Screamer (i.e. dual G4) sound device without any trouble, but reading the burgundy device gives me nothing but zeros. When I read from /dev/dsp, I notice that I'm getting interrupts, and the read returns data, but the data are all zeros. I get the same behavior when using an application like grecord (I get data, but they're all zeros). I'm currently using Kaoru Fukui's 2.4.8-pre1_0a, compiled on a single cpu B&W G3 (400MHz), as well as a dual G4 (400MHz w/SMP). I've tried compiling Kaoru's 2.4.10 kernel, but have been having some boot-up issues. Before I rsync to any more current tree, is there something I'm doing that's obviously wrong?
