The particular thing I'd like to do first is on a tape.   If I figure
out how to do this, especially after I get my shiny new machine, I
will probably do some recording directly to the hard drive from the mic
input.  But when I play at church, I get a cassette tape, and that's a 
better acoustic environment than my computer room.

I hooked the tape player to the line-in on my soundcard and created a
.au by recording direct from /dev/audio, and turned that into a .wav
with sox.  But apparently the sampling rate if you do that is wrong --
bladenc says something about a wrong subtype.

That's my question: has anyone actually done this, and which of these
have they used with what options?  None of the recording programs I've
tried has worked out of the box.  snd doesn't compile on my machine.

    Michael> Nice site!

Thanks.   It would be even nicer with some sound files of my playing,
but I'm having trouble working out how to do that.
