	You need some sort of mixer program, like xmix or xmixer (2 different
programs from 2 different people).  There are probably newer more advanced
ones but those are the ones I've used for a few years.  They require
X-Windows, they allow you to select inputs (microphone, line) and set the
sensitivity of recording and volume of playback.  Oh, and to actually record
I use another old bit of software wavrec, with it's faithful companion
wavplay.  I run them under their gui controller, xltwavplay.
