That's because you're capturing the "mix" instead of just capturing the "line 
in" channel.

How you set this up is very much hardware dependant, I'm afraid.  What 
soundcard are you using?  It sounds like maybe an emu10k1-based card from 
your talking about the "music" channel.

To record only the "line in" with my SB Live! I have to:

	* set the AC97 capture source to "line"
	* turn up "capture"
	* turn up "AC97 capture"
	* turn down the capture for PCM/wave/music

I think.  It's extremely fiddly.

I don't *think* there's any way to do any of this with the audio mixer, or 
with JACK audio routing more generally.  It depends on how the soundcard's 
mixer is set up, which can be quite confounding.

SB Live! people are in luck anyway.  Before RG's 1.0 release I'm going to do 
an extensive bit on how to control this obnoxious thing.  I don't know enough 
to sit here and reel off quite exactly what you have to do from memory, but 
I've fooled with it enough that I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get it on 
paper accurately.

I can't give you an ETA on that, I'm afraid.  Eventually, if not sooner.

That sounds serious, but I'll have to leave it untouched for the moment.  
Maybe somebody else can follow up on that.
