This would only work if you are playing the sound on your computer in the 
first place (internet radio, a music CD).  Yes it is a cable.  Instead of 
line out going to the speakers, it would go to the line in.

If you want to record from the radio or a CD player or tape deck, run the 
cable from the line out of your receiver to the line in of the sound card.

I think you need a full-duplex sound card to play and record at the same 
time, something with DMA1 and DMA16 (or DMA2) which are not the same. 
SBPro probably cannot do that, nor can some cheaper SB cards.

Sam, what command or program do you use to capture the incoming sound
to a wav file (to 'set line in as the recording source').
