Yeah, I feel really stupid. I always try to figure out a problem before i 
post and I listened to the aumix man page. But -- I don't know -- I just 
didn't grok. Somehow I got the idea that the R parameter for record was to 
record through aumix. Doh!

So that was kind of dumb. Thanks to everyone who set me straight.

Everything is working now. I have my VCR going into the first sound card 
and my stereo (with a second VCR) going into the second. I have my computer 
speakers connected to the first sound card. I have no speakers connected to 
the second sound card but my stereo has speakers.

On any day, I can record 2 TV shows or a TV show and a radio program.

I've been recording way more than I can listen to. The script I wrote takes 
a date format string. So, for example, I have it set up so that when I 
record jeopardy, it names the files Mon.ogg, Tue.ogg, ... Then on Monday, 
it over writes Mon.ogg. If I haven't listened to it yet, too bad.
