I see Jan's already given some helpful advice on using line-in jacks
through a mixer, but I'd like to put in a good work for miking your
amplifier.  In my experience, I usually get a much better guitar sound
by having the guitar plugged into my amp (a Fender Ultimate Chorus) and
using an SM57 connected to a mixer.  I can change the tone a bit by
miking it either straight on, or turning it about 45 degrees so that
the mike is perpendicular to the cone.

One other thing: while the Audigy is well-supported under Linux, if
there is a physical problem with the line-in jacks on the card, you're
going to need a new card.  Anything that you'll want to plug into it,
save for little computer "chat" mics, will need line-in jacks.

Good luck!

Your English is far, far better than my Portuguese!!!
