It would depend on whether your non-RIAA preamp was "flat". The RIAA
preamps have very few inflection points in the curve. I used the
standard points and then let the spline do the intervening points. It
works very well for me. Now, if I'd just been a bit more careful with
my big black CDs, when I was a kid... ;-)

Interesting. What would you think this is quality-wise? Would it
suffice to do "hi-fi" recordings of LPs through the standard line
inputs, or would a hardware solution still be better?
The problem with records is not levels, but the
RIAA distortion. You
need a device which can adapt to this. There are special preamps for
this, some cards like the Terratec Phase26 USB has them built in,
normaly hifi amps have them (the input labeled "PHONO" most of the
time), but most soundcards do not have them.
Jan Depner has made a JAMin config file that undoes the RIAA curve, its
shipped with the latest tarball IIRC.
