It looks like there aren't any Linux audio buffs in this city or I just 
haven't caught their eyes.

Arecord does see my device,  the soundcard is listed as Card0  and my device 
as Card1.  As far as I can tell ALSA is all about Soundcards.   To use 
arecord one uses alsamixer, but alsa mixer is about the soundcard inputs and 
outputs.  I don't see any way of telling it about Card1 or my sound driver as 
a source.  

The site linux-sound.org has a wealth of information but I just haven't found 
anything that answers my problem.  The answer may be somewhere in ALSA, I'll 
keep looking.  Sox and Audacity could also do what I want if I could only 
tell them about this oddball audio source.

Looks like I use Windows to get my L.P's and reel to reel tapes onto the 
computer.  Drat.

Thanks Lennart and Kush
