space switches the source from play (passthrough) to record
(passthrough and record)

note: on some old soundcards (and most newer ones) the cable wont be
needed since the cards can record from all of their sources (including
line out) internally

if you arent recording from mic leave it at 0... turning it up with or
without a mic will cause noise..

on sb16 its in hardware and adjusts all inputs .... should be set at
'30' (press the '3' key) -- which is really '1' (there are only 4
levels -- 0 to 3) to get a decent recording level...

doing the same to ogain helps things too.... (nice n' loud/clear -- be
carefull when doing it with headphones plugged into speaker out tho)
