Multimedia :: recording in audacity
The only commandline arguments Audacity takes are input files, so i guess all configuration has to be done either within the program, or by modifying the source code. It might be something outside of Audacity, though. Even though your audio output works there may be issues with input. I couldn't say what issues they'd be, though....so far i haven't had any problems with audio in DSL.
Although I didn't see anything specific to this in the changelog, you might consider trying a newer version of the program. They just released version 1.2.4 today (and as i said, there is a new unofficial mydsl package for this version), so maybe you'll have better luck with it. If you're still using 1.2.0 it would be a good idea to upgrade to at least 1.2.2 due to a crash fix while recording.

Good news, the dropdown menu beside the sliders show with your new build. Bad news, all I still get is hum when I try recording from any source. I have other computers running dsl, (live cd and frugal install) and have the same problem with all of them when I try running any recording program (not just audacity).
More good news I got audacity to record the microphone on my older 133 64mb frugal. I think the problem might be with my AC_97 sound thingy on my newer one.
