It saves the audio to a buffer that I then save as *ALSA test.wav*. I then can play the file with *Kaffeine*.
(If I try to play the buffer directly from *krecord* it complains *Error: can't open soundcard: Device or resource busy. But [B]Kaffeine* can play a wav file, even while *krecord* is open.) > To record audio from PC speaker first start an application playing audio > - I typically use an internet radio.

The levels do indeed move.

This is not a problem. We can record and have recorded to *ALSA test.wav*. I have recorded both microphone and internet radio. With the internet radio the music does get to the SB with about a second latency, but is still very distorted and overridden by the hum.
