I'm trying to record from a radio plugged in to the line-in jack on my
pc, whilst listening to music files playing on Amarok. To do this, I've
started playing with jackd, but whenever I start it up with 'jackd -d
alsa' I get errors: "the playback device "hw:0" is already in use.
Please stop the application using it and run JACK again". And if I start
up jackd, Amarok won't start - obviously both wanting to exclusive
control over alsa.

Can I use jackd at the same time as something like Amarok?

Is jackd the right way to do something like this?

(BTW, I can hear and toggle on/off sound input from both pcm (ie Amarok)
and line using alsactl. My sound devices are:

% cat /proc/asound/devices
  2:        : timer
  3:        : sequencer
  4: [ 0- 4]: digital audio playback
  5: [ 0- 3]: digital audio capture
  6: [ 0- 2]: digital audio capture
  7: [ 0- 1]: digital audio capture
  8: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
  9: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
 10: [ 0]   : control
