[NTLUG:Discuss] OT -- Recording Sound to computer

Yes, that is the basic physical connection you need to make.

You need to run an audio capture application to capture the audio into a
digital format, typically a wav file.  lavrec (part of mjpegtools) or
streamer (part of xawtv) will work, but they are normally used for
capturing audio and video, so you will need to give them the proper options
to capture only audio.  I'm sure there are audio-only capture programs, but
I don't have any experiance with them.

The wav files that will be burned to CD should be 16-bit stereo at 44100 Hz
sampling rate.  You can either capture in that format or convert to that
format after capture.
