audacity-1.3.5-0.12.beta.local.fc11.x86_64 "works for me" (actually, a
local build from src rpm).

Works both for "editing" and "recording".  I've recorded tracks from a
USB turntable as well as from builtin mic.  (I have it configured to
use pulse for both input and output; see attached screenshot of
preferences).

The only issue I've just noticed is that it appears not to be writing
ID3 tags in my files.

When koji is back up I'll download/build/test audacity-1.3.7-beta and report....
