signal genrator,and used command 'arecord -c 4 -f S16_LE -r 44100
>test.wav' recording in fedora14.but ALL audio data are recorded in channel
1,2.No any data in channel 3,4.Why?How can I record every pins audio data
in each channel?

Yes,  also need a switch which mute the input from 0x0b for all output
jacks to prevent feedback if using mic

the current hda driver only support stereo capture and you have to
implement multi channel capturing similar to multi channel playback in
hda_codec.c

snd_hda_multi_in_analog_prepare

     for (i = 1; i < num_adcs; i++) {
                      snd_hda_codec_setup_stream(codec, adc_nids[i],
stream_tag,  i * 2, format);

or

try multi plugin of two stereo capture devices
