Damn good information to have.  Where is that sort
of information documented?

This seems most promising to me.

  I have audacity started up and in "pause/record mode".
  I have qjackctl started up.  

But I don't really know where to go from here.  I have
hit the qjackctl "Connect" button, and see both the
"Audio" and "Alsa" tab.  Perhaps you direct me where to
go next or direct me to some documentation?

Thank you for your pointers!
