I have only one experience doing this, and it took
some tinkering. The computer was a recent model MAC,
so I presume OS X, and there was some software that
created .WAV tracks from the sound card's input.
The audio came from a mixer board, and it was the
headphone jack that seemed to provide the most
compatible level. The MAC software basically allows
you to start recording on cue, and transfers what
it hears to a .WAV track until you stop it,
not unlike recording to tape. You need to experiment
with the audio to get max signal over noise but without
distortion. The guy running the laptop had earphones
plugged into it to monitor, if I remember right.
Hope this snippet helps a little.
