In short: Can I record audio from Line-In, and at the same time, record audio from the Mic In. Each recording going to a different file? Is this possible?
For some context:
I can record playing a game (or my desktop) using x11grab via ffmpeg and the audio from Line-In also via ffmpeg. I managed that by putting a splitter on my Speaker Out, and then a cable from that to the Line-In. The other port on the splitter goes to my headphones. [I couldn't figure out how to record the gameplay and Speaker Out with software alone]
Hey, it works. :-D
Now what I'm trying next, is to record my gameplay with sound [as I did before], but also want to record my narration at the same time. I want to keep my narration as a separate file, or separate audio stream in the video. I don't want it mixed-in with the game audio. I tried running Audacity at the same time as what I'm recording my gameplay. I then set Audacity to Mic In, but that seems to override the global mixer's "rec" source.
