have you ever been able to get linux to both monitor and record simultaneusly?

No, but then I'm not sure I know what monitor means in this context...

It could be that you need to unmute an input somewhere - did you have a look at the mixer controls for your card and midi box? You should be able to see them with "alsamixer -c 0" and "alsamixer -c 1" or similar.

Maybe you could post the output from "cat /proc/asound/cards"

I'm referring to the inability to record streaming media. If connected to internet radio, for example, loading audacity will generate an error initializing the i/o layer. If audacity is loaded, connecting to streaming media yields an error regarding the soundcard being blocked by another program.

It's not a soundcard issue, since I have no problem recording streaming media on the same computer with windows loaded. I thought it might be a linux issue, since when researching the audacity docs I think I read something about only the linux versions not being able to monitor what was being recorded. I should try the windows version of audacity; I don't have another app to compare with audacity running on dsl yet......

EDIT: Yes, as I suspected. No problem running the windows version of Audacity and recording streaming media.....same computer, soundcard.

What inability? That's not a Linux issue. There may be an issue related to audacity, but not to Linux. I don't know how the audacity extension was compiled and if there was anything left out, but I have a hunch that's where the issue may lie.

Many applications can rip streaming audio when running Linux: I have cron set to record news feeds every morning using streamripper. Have you tried it yet?

Edited to clarify.

Are you talking about The Linux version of Audacity in general, or specifically about the myDSL extension? I never tested internet stream recording for the extension, mainly because I wasn't aware that Audacity had that feature.

As far as its ability to monitor what was being recorded, i guess that would depend on what you mean by "monitor". You mean audacity outputting sound while it's recording? I don't see what the point would be, unless you're altering the audio *while* it's being recorded....which doesn't sound logical to me.

Audacity.uci can't record streaming media; neither can the audacity optained using apt-get for reasons cited above. The "monitoring" issue unique to linux was something noted in the docs that led me to believe that it might not work with other distros either, being a "basic editor."

re: streamripper: where do you find the URL (complete with port). The general URL on the browser doesn't work, and the "file name" found in xMMS's playlist isn't what it wants.
