For simple recording, just record from the default device or from plughw:0 like: $ arecord -f cd something.wav $ arecord -f cd -D plughw:0 something.wav I think, older versions of Audacity don't support ALSA, so you should use the OSS-compatibility layer with Audacity. Make sure the module snd-pcm-oss is loaded, then Audacity should work out of the box as well. As the Audiophiles hardware is a bit trick, most OSS-mixer software won't work, so with Audacity you may not be able to set the recording volume. I would recommend to just set the level once with envy24control and leave it at that. For more advanced recording, just fire up jackd and use Ardour. And finally for recording the BBC: Are you talking about recording the net stream? Streams should actually not pass through the soundcard at all when recording, IMO. Try something like streamripper instead. You can also grab mp3/ogg-streams with a simple downloader like "wget". Another solution is the monitor-PCM mentioned in another post.
