Linux is an operating system, such as Windows XP or Mac OSX. This machine runs linux. There is no audio input ports, only a headphone out port.

You can run Linux applications on it that are designed for the GP2X. You can't run Linux applications designed for other systems unless they are very similar in architecture (eg. Sharp Zaurus) and nothing special is used from that system that isn't implemented in exactly the same way on the GP2X.

You could record audio with software (you'd have to port it or develop new software) and a USB audio device.
