    This is the way I do it as well.  Just open a stereo track in Ardour and
record back into it.  I have occasionally had too many tracks to handle this way
(wimpy CPU).  In those cases I export to a wav file and then use alsaplayer -o
jack into JAMin into a new Ardour session.  You could also create a new Ardour
session, import the wav file, and then go Ardour->Jamin->Ardour.
