If you can install Debian you can use a mixer. Have you visited this
page?

Unfortunately I don't know too many recording apps off the top of my
head that meet your criteria. I was going to suggest Audacity. For
basic audio recording that does the job. It certainly isn't a
full-featured DAW like Ardour, Cubase, or Pro-Tools....not that your
husband needs those anyway.
