I haven't tried it under Linux (hoping it was a Windows driver thing), but the 
Roland UA-30 (USB outboard thingy) records silence under Windows if you try 
to record a SCMS-restricted digital signal.  From what I understand it does 
the same on the Mac, so I'm not that hopeful.  On the plus side, its digital 
output is SCMS-free.

I seem to remember that some iteration of the SB Live did the same and that it 
*was* a driver thing (a little dialog box would pop up saying "Copy 
Restricted" or something.)  So you might have to get either something 
high-end or something cheap and Taiwanese for it to ignore SCMS.
