I've hooked up the tape card to the line-in of the sound  but I can't 
get the sound to be recorded.  I am getting sound as I can listen to 
the tapes on the computer.

What device do I specify for the recording in from the line-in of the 
sound card using audacity?

When I use the default /dev/dsp nothing is captured.

In Audacity, I use /dev/dsp. Works with my SBLive - which card are you 
using?

What are your mixer settings?  Do you have the LineIn configured to
record or just for playback?  Check out the man page for mixer(8) on how
to set an input for recording.  There are also quite a few ports for
various mixer interfaces in /usr/ports/audio.

I've stared at the man page and now I think I see what needs to 
happen.
