Currently trying to set up audacity for recording audio from web, however. Using either xine or gstreamer phonbackends does not allow audacity recording.

The installation of pulseaudio, along with nearly complete Gnome environment allowed audacity to receive audio for recording under KDE.

Are there any methods to accomplish this with KDE, without having to install a full Gnome environment?

Unfortunately Audacity is no KDE application. So it doesn't rely on the phonon backend, as gnome doesn't use it. Why it is dependant on many gnome parts i can't tell though.

I understand Audacity is not KDE application, however. KDE does not include a sound recording application thus the use of Audacity.

So, installing pulse-audio, and all the dependencies the only way to record audio on KDE, since Audacity, does not interact with phonon-backends KDE uses?

Unfortunately, at this stage, yes.

Thanks for your time on this matter.

By the way. Do you happen to know, if there are any plans for KDE to have methods for recording?

I use cool record edit deluxe it works great! I guess try one more piece of software then you will find out if its your hardware.

Which is for Windows only and proprietary software. Think twice before posting such suggestions. There really is enough choice in Linux, no need to propose that one.

I use audacity to record streams w/o problems.
I've set device to alsa.
Of course there are parts of gnome,like gtk,installed.
You'll have to check what controls in kmix need to be set.
And in audacity you have to set the input.
