[LBo] Recording Audio from analog

[Howard Rosen]

Anita,

I just looked up the information on my old SoundBlaster 32 card and it
has 4 connectors.  They are labeled "Line In", "Mic In", "Line Out" and
"Spkr out."  Go from cassette to "Line In" on the sound card.  I have no
experience with the next step, that is to actually record.

My SuSE 9.3 book talks about recording using the following software:
audacity, as well as arecord and aplay.  Hope this helps.
