It turns out that it wasn't just arming the track. I had actually killed a
process before doing what I thought was 'arming the track' last time. (I was
able to get recording to work in Ardour, but had to kill off some process
like artsd to get Jack to start). I did that, recorded what I needed, and
then moved on. When I tried to record the next track, I found I had the same
problem - sound, playback, etc. but no recording.
So, after fiddling with things for a while, I discovered that my problem was
actually a result of the KDE sound system taking over and not letting some
sound card related process go. When I shut that down (system -->
configuration --> KDE --> Sound --> Sound System --> disable the entire
sound system), everything started flowing smoothly.
I guess we'll see, in the future, how KDE responds to having parts of itself
shut down like that. So far no instability noted.
Thanks to Bart and Christian for their input.
