depends on what you told /dev/audio to do.... but at its default it
will record from line in at 8khz 8bit.... if dding from /dev/audio
even works.... (you would have to tell it to record in the first
place)

/dev/sequencer ... like all the rest of the devices... messages are
sent to the kernel to tell it which device to use -then- the data is
sent/recieved...

even if you could capture the data being sent by the keyboard to a
file it wouldnt be in any usable format...

my suggestion; get a shelf with enough room for a 14inch monitor and a
mouse, put it near the keyboard, and stick with rosegarden....
