I have an on-line class and I would like to record it.

In a Windows PC, I log in the class, listen to the class and run
audacity at the same time. audacity then captures the sound and save to
files. I am able to save these files and listen to them again.

In my office, there is no Windows, just Suse and Fedora. So I install
audacity and try to do the same thing. The installation went fine and
audacity starts without any error but it just cannot capture anything.
It still runs but the output file has no sound at all. 

Under Windows, audacity lists one sound input device.
Under Fedora, it lists several of them:
OSS: /dev/dsp
ALSA: HDA NVidia: ALC883 Analog (hw:0,0)
ALSA: HDA NVidia: ALC883 Analog (hw:0,2)
ALSA: front
ALSA: surround40
ALSA: surround51
ALSA: surround71

I selected each of these devices but none of them works.

The onlince class still works fine under Fedora, i.e. video, sound are
all ok.
