I would like to record material via line-in. I can get the sound uot of the
speakers, but can't find out how to see it on screen, so I can edit nad save
before burning it to a CD

You can get a copy of November's PCWorld magazine "Rip Your Records", on
how to record from your stereo to a PC/CD using the RCA connection cable which
you can purchase at Radio Shack.
It has info on how to set your sound levels, etc.
In addition, you can find more info here:

There's also an Analog Recorder utility available with one of the
Windowsmedia Bonus Packs (but not free).
 
Download the free audio editor Audacity - google for 'audacity download' or
so. It will record/edit/enhance anything that goes through the audio-card.
If you want to shell some bucks, get SB Audigy 2ZS since it comes with all
the software needed for a home user. 2ZS Gamer was selling for $57 after
rebate at Best Buy - that would be about what you would pay for software
alone. Circuit City was selling 2ZS Platinum for $99 some time ago.

Sound quality, integrated aps etc etc. I was of the same opinion - using my
on-board AC97 sound and (almost) generic desktop speakers. That was till I
moved some 400 Audio CD files on a 2x200GB sata raid0. Then I saw a good
deal on Audigy 2zs - $57 and came with 3 or 4 full games and a bunch of
audio software. Then I got another good deal - Swans M200 speakers for $165
:) Now, I can do some nice sounds, music - MP3's and poor sound ruin the
musical experience, at least for me.
Albeit, you can do without a RCA cable as well... just hook-up two or four
wires and you can get noise :)
