How to get audacity to record internet sounds?

[Technomage Hawke]

I would be interested in doing this myself (even if I compile linux code in OS X to do it). 

the only problem is that any X app I compile here will not be voiceover accessible, so I really do need a operating linux OS to do this on. I am not even sure yet if Audacity will even be orca compliant. guess I need to find out on the powerbook.
