Hmm, all that research???  My 30 second "net check" turned up:

6.3 How can I record a sample? 

answers you question about "is it possible?".

Also, I guess you didn't check Alta Vista, which has hundreds of pages
of relevant info:  I punched in +linux +recording and was overwhelmed 
with pages.

Also, I guess you didn't check Yahoo, if you punched in +linux +sound you
would have seen this page:

Chock full of linux sound recording information.

Sorry to be snippy, but apparantly you didn't look  :)

Basically, you just patch your turntable into your soundcard, and record
the input to a wav files.  Then, burn the wave files to your CDR.  There
may be other ways, but this is the standard way.

You said you don't have windows "on this machine".  I would suggest that
you use the machine that you do have Windows on, as most of the best sound
recording software is written for Windows, or some such non-linux OS. 
I hope this will change, in the future.  I used Cool Edit Pro, which, I am 
sure, in unmatched in any Linux recording application.
