Welcome to the world of ALSA and incomplete/defective ALSA support in
Audacity. You may need to choose a different Recording device in the
Preferences, and if that doesn't make the "Line" and "CD" channels show
up, try a later version and hope for improvement. For example: Does the
following version work better? (x86_64 build in the same directory)
