THANK YOU!!!!  I loaded up audacity and tried to record following your instructions, and now I've successfully recorded from my AudioTechnica AT3525 and my optical in port.  Simply raised the appropriate capture level.  I've been trying to get this down for a couple of months with no success and LOTS of frustration.  Thanks for the tip, Stephen.

Now, I've just gotta figure out a way to get it to record with less than a full second of latency... :)

Also,  something I've never understood, but have never tinkered with either, is Jack.  Could someone give me a conceptual layout of what exactly Jack is - and how it fits in with ALSA...?  I'm sorta confused about that.  I've heard it's a good tool, but I have no idea what it is.

In alsamixer none of the controls seem recordable...
      

I've got a bog-standard Audigy; I've noticed that the capture-related mixer 
controls have been rearranged considerably in recent releases, which threw me 
a bit when I first wanted to record, having got used to the (admittedly a 
little odd) layout used on older versions.

You should (hopefully) be able to record by increasing the level of the 
"Analog Mix Capture" channel and the channel(s) you wish to capture. You may 
also need to up the "Analog Mix" channel. When I'm recording from a 
line-level source, I tend to keep "PCM", "Line", "Analog Mix" and "Analog Mix 
Capture" at 100% and control my monitor volume with "Master", which doesn't 
affect capture level - that way, PCM playback afterwards is at exactly the 
same level as the line-in was during recording.

Hope this helps,
Stephen
