Hi Garett. Jack Time Machine will also record whats being played and save it 
as a .wav to your /home/user directory if thats as much as you want.

If you decide to use it you will have to change the command on the desktop 
link to application to:
/usr/bin/timemachine -f wav  , otherwise it saves it as a bit of an obscure 
file format as default. Also there was no icon in Kmenu on Fedora. The icon 
is in /usr/share/timemachine/pixmaps. Nigel.
