too stupid to record from running wave/mp3-file (f.e. via audacity) with 8738/8768 audio device?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First of all:
I'm not an audiophil enthusiast. Tried too read as much as possible
about my problem here but did not find a solution. Maybe because of my
crappy english or all that dts-ac-spdif-tech-talk. Sorry, in case I
overlooked the solution...

What soundcard to you have (make, model, chip)?

Terratec Aureon 5.1 Fun PCI

What steps will reproduce the problem?

No matter if windows 7 or Windows 2000 in both systems:
1. Changing from Terratec driver to C-Media-Driver results in:
Better microphone recording, but completely missing audirecording 
from files played on pc (recording a running mp3-file or youtube, f.e.)
No matter if mic itself is muted (because of noise) or not.

What is the expected output? What happens instead?

Should actually record a running song (via audacity for example) from the
audio-output (which u can here via headset or speaker), digitally (Not
talking about any jacks or lineout/ins...) direct to a file

What version of the driver are you using? On what operating system? What
version of the operationg system are you using (32 or 64 bit)?

CMIDriver-1.2.6-bin-x86-WaveRT.zip  on Win 7
CMIDriver-1.2.6-bin-x86.zip on Win 2000

Please provide any additional information below.

I tried to mute/unmute check/uncheck all kind of options and volume
controls. There simply (on both systems) seems not to be a kind of
wave-record-volume-control or sort of a master-control which simply records
every incoming signal, like it was with the official driver.
It only offers 
-line in (dont have it)
-cd player
-spdif (digital dts stuff if i understood right?)
-analog

Audacity offers 3 sources:
-microphone
-Microsoft Soundmapper Input (won't work)
-SPDIF or LINE

Tried C-Mediacontrolpanel as well (routing and whatsoever),
simply to blind maybe... ;)
Did I accidently deactive it or misread something like: That won't work
with c-Media-driver?

Sorry again, for the inconviniences

That's more or less a feature request. I haven't come around implementing this 
because it's quite messy, but there is software which you can use for this, 
e.g. 
Virtual Audio Cable.

Ah, I see.... :D 
Well, I'm a cheap bastard. If I buy music, than with ItunesGiftcertificate or
recording streamed radio ;) That's why I used that a lot.

Never thought of the possibility that that simply is not implemented on the 
driver,
cause I would have thought of a 'normal' feature about it. :)

Thanks for the quick answer and the suggestion and the great driver, 
nevertheless!
