[PlanetCCRMA] Audacity recording blues

[William M. Quarles]

Reading the Audacity Wiki, Audacity can be compiled to support ALSA 
natively <http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.pl?LinuxIssues>: however, 
Planet CCRMA does not do this, nor is it even provided as a recompile 
option in the SRPM.  I think that this needs to be fixed soon.

Peace,
William
