Interesting requirements to say the least.

If you can install Debian you can use a mixer.  Have you visited this

Unfortunately I don't know too many recording apps off the top of my

basic audio recording that does the job.  It certainly isn't a
full-featured DAW like Ardour, Cubase, or Pro-Tools....not that your
husband needs those anyway.
