Hardy has released 1.3.5 of Audacity and Jaunty has 1.3.7. It should at least work in Jaunty (with no quality loss), although it might require some tweaking - select "Alsa: pulse" under Edit -> Preferences -> Recording. While recording, you should be able to move the stream (through the gnome volume control or pavucontrol) to monitor one of the outputs. If you try it in Jaunty and it does not work, please reopen the bug.
