There is a way to record whatever goes through the sound card. I have
done so in the past. The exact procedure might depend on your specific
card. In my case it involved setting the correct capture device in
alsamixer (was it the Mix device as detailed at the link below?--don't
remember).
In any case, the following page goes through a slew of possibilities:

Good luck and happy listening.
