The input device is only opened if there is some NAS client requesting
data from it (if ReleaseDevice is set to "yes" in the config file). This
is independant of the input mixer settings. If MixerInit is set to "no",
then the mixer settings will not be changed when nasd is started.

Since version 1.8a the input- and output-devices can be totally
independant, including the mixer (for the OSS NAS server).

You can set the mixer in the inputsection of the config file to the
empty string ("") to disable any input gain control for NAS. The mixer
settings will not be changed by nasd in this case.

If you set autoOpen to "no" in the input section, nasd will not even try
to open an input device, unless some NAS client tries to read from the
input device.
