There is a program called "jack" that will do exactly what you need. (<a href="http://jackaudio.org/">http://jackaudio.org/</a>) It has a really nice GUI called qjackctl (<a href="http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/">http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/</a>). You basically set it up to to control all of your audio IO. You can take sound output from one program and run it into the audio input of another program, as long as that program works with jack. Most serious linux audio programs will work with jack (audacity is one of them).<br>
<br>It looks like you may already have jack installed. You just might need to set it up as your sound driver for audacity and then run qjackctl to manage the audio IO.<br><br>Good luck!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 16, 2008 at 3:08 PM, Joe <<a href="mailto:josephj@main.nc.us">josephj@main.nc.us</a>> wrote:<br>

Any ideas on how to proceed?<br>
