Indeed, arecord at least gave me the error that put me on the right
track. It seems it was a bandwidth problem because of my USB hub (even
though it's 2.0). I plugged it into a USB port connected directly to
my motherboard, and now arecord records from it just fine. Now to try
the same with audacity and figure out if it is capable of stereo or
not.

Thanks for the help everyone!
