Very simple solution. Run the turntable outputs into ANY kind of
preamp, run the preamp into JAMin using the RIAA EQ curve (included in
the examples directory), record with Ardour or other JACK enabled
recorder.

Thanks for the advices (still welcome).
What about the hardware part? Just a LP player, and a onboard
soundcard? And how should I make the connection?
You can't plug the turntable directly to the soundcard, you have to use
a preamp that has RIAA equalization:

Typical home stereo amplifiers have that on the "phono" input.
You can then take the "tape" outputs to the computer.
Or you can try to fix the eq in software but even if I've never tried I
don't think it sounds as good. I believe that there are some modern
preamps that have a phono input (m-audio, maybe?) but I've never
investigated them so much.
