    Normally you can select one of the inputs and get only audio from that
    input.
    Open an app such as gmix and make sure the box for line in is checked.

    With this you control the mixer of your soundcard (and can probably select
    the input source as mentioned above) and as such you have to set it in a
    way that the levels that soundmodem gets are sane.

    In theory on a stereo soundcard you get two seperate channels. So it should
    be possible, but I don't think the soundmodem code does that now...
    But they will both have the same bitrate so that would limit your
    possibilities a bit.
