It no longer seems to happen, possibly this is something to do with my driver, but I've adjusted all the controls I can see through Gnome.

Being able to do effects processing at the same time is attractive, but that's a more complex scenario and I'd actually be happy with just being able to monitor the line in (as in your hardware mixer paragraph) and I can't see where to switch it on.
