Ok then, I have learned a few things. One is that, depending on your 
soundcard, you can use your sound mixer (kmix, gnome-mixer or alsamixer) to 
enable the 'mix' or 'wave' recording source. Then whatever application you're 
using to record can use that as the source.

A better method seems to be using Jack, the audio connection kit. It's more 
complex, but it looks like you can perform all kinds of audio magic with it. 
The limiting factor is your soundcard- my xTremeCheapass onboard AC97 sound 
is pretty limited.
