If you've got an external CD pluged into your line-in socket, you could
install nas (Network Audio System) and do an "aurecord -mode line".  I'm
mucking around trying to do this for an external CD.  It seems that the
internal CD audio data isn't "seen" by the au server :(

Does anyone know if the soundcard hides this data ?  My card is an AWE32.
If the soundcard is making the stuff available (I believe I have some
info at home about Creative Labs audio programming), perhaps aurecord's
-mode argument just needs to have another option implemented.
