Gramofile isn't available via any of the repositories I have set up, 
including rpmforge, and it is a little long in the tooth -- 2001 was the 
last update.  :-)

But Audacity works like a charm.  A better quality headset or mic would 
help but so far it works.  Two messages down and ??? to go.

Jason, thanks for the suggestion.  I'd been down the alsamixer trail and 
must have got the settings right.
