Recording audio out on HDA-Intel HDA ATI SB Realtek ALC888 via ALSA

Hello

1. I would like to record 'audio out' (the sound I hear when playing a game) using ALSA.

2. Recording the output is generally possible using PulseAudio on the same system. My intension is to get this to work without PulseAudio though.

3. My alsa info is here

4. My sound card appears not to support hardware mixing, so I try enabling software mixing by doing this:

echo "pcm.dsp {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "dmix"
}" > ~/.asoundrc
sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart

but then I still have only "Line/Front Mic/Rear Mic" as possible input sources in alsamixer's capture devices "Input Source" and "Input Source 1"

I don't know what to do next. Did I do something wrong?
