I'm also a relative newbie, and I can imagine what you're experiencing. I also shouted out for a better (newbie) documentation.... Here some sites which may help you. - http://www.linuxjournal.com/users/dave-phillips/track - http://linux-sound.org/ - http://www.64studio.com/manual/audio More advanced and difficult documentation or most of the time on the site of the particular application. Freewheeling has even some video tutorials!!!! That should be a example for the other applications and there websites....
