How do you disable pulse?  Just "$ pkill pulse" ?  Or something fancier?

Here's the key.  (And I feel very stupid.)  How do you select line as
the default for recording?  The Gnome mixer applet (right click on the
little speaker in the upper task bar; select "Open Volume Control") has
no checkboxes to select recording input (as opposed to the help page).
Alsamixer seems to want to communicate only with pulseaudio.

I've never had any *more* trouble with audacity with jack than with
audacity without jack.  I certainly hope that jack support is not
disabled, since jack has given me much higher recording quality at high
data rates (48000 samples / sec) than plain vanilla alsa -- I think I
was getting lots of drop outs (i.e.xruns).
