Thanks for the hints; I got it licked for now as I can record any audio
playing on the phone via the headset jack. There are not that many that 
I really want and the available ones go back a couple of weeks so 
there's a rich field to pick from. I did want to make sure that no data 
gets dumped because of something like an account closure so I got a hold 
of Telus and told them to keep it live and charge the bills to my 
account until I stop paying. I expect to have all the audios of interest 
recorded by Monday.
