problems properly configuring alsa

[covici at ccs.covici.com]

Hi.  Since upgrading to kernel 3.13, I am having some strange also
config problems.  What I would like to do is have the Microphone be able
to record a file, or otherwise be used by an application, and at the
same time have the rear jack which seemsto be controlled by Master, to
hear a file being played or other application.  Now what is happening is
that if I turn up the capture volume sufficiently, I get feedback, if I
turn Master playback off, no feedback, but Master hears nothing.  The
volume on the Mic does nothing at all itself.  I have an old emu10k1
sound card.  So, how do I get the Mic to work at some decent level, but
not going through the line out jack which eventually goes to speakers?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
