logitech headset != /dev/dsp; mencoder adevice=?


I am using a logitech headset on Debian Etch. As such, I dont have a /dev/dsp, which mencoder defaults to for sound capture. Im trying to use this command to capture from my vcr (attached to my rig with a Pinnacle DVC90):
mencoder tv:// -v -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:input=0:fps=24:norm=ntsc:amode=1:width=704:height=576 -of avi -sws 9 -vf lavcdeint,denoise3d=4:3:6,scale=512:384 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=900 -o ./test.avi

but I segfault with this output:

For /dev/dsp you need to load the OSS compatibility driver:
modprobe snd_pcm_oss

ok, after doing that, /dev/dsp exists; however, now the mencoder command I used crashes my rig - i have to push the reset button! So i figure there must be something else i need to do. I can use an adevice= line to change what mencoder uses for sound capture ... what can i say about my audio set up (or anything else) that might help?

Did you run 'alsamixer' or similar tool to set up the headset (headphones, microphone)
