Shouldn't this be on?
Yes, it should, and actually it automatically turns itself on automatically when the arecord command is started, and then back off after the i/o error. Note that this is one of the toggles that only appeared in alsamixer after the source code change of the two "#if 0" lines to "#if 1".

IIRC this selects between two different inputs. Try both settings.
Yes, the documentation I have read suggests it should toggle between the internal CDROM when off and the external digital input when on, however I have tried both settings and there is no apparent change in behavior. I still get an i/o error and a 44 byte file either way.
