Audio recording

Hello All, I have a turntable with both analog and streaming USB outputs. It is one from Jaycar. What audio packages do I need to be able to record the streaming USB on Ubuntu and Debian? I have been looking, and there are vague references in the comments about recording, but not specifically stating that they can capture from USB. There is a CD of Windows software, and I am hoping that I do not need to enable something first from a Windows box. That is a SNAFU about which I do not yet have information, but will be looking at. I am thinking along the lines of some USB devices with the software distributed as files on the storage side, but flippable into an "active" device mode, such as some wireless "modems".
