Try using ALSA instead of OSS. You may need to fiddle with settings, but "Alsa default" will usually work as long as you select sample rates that are supported by your hardware and driver. On Xubuntu, I have found Audacity 1.3.5 to work better than 1.3.4 (which I think is still the default...

Enable "2 channel stereo" recording in "Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O"

Note that if you are using a "Microphone input" on your computer, these are only mono. "Line inputs" can be stereo providing that they are supplied with a stereo signal.

"View > Toolbars > Selection Toolbar"

"Aften" is also at a very early development stage (current version 0.0.8). You will probably find things improve in later versions of these applications.

You can use a standard wireless keyboard. Nearly all of Audacities functions can be done from the keyboard, and "hot keys" are configurable to suit any specific requirements you have. I do not think that the Red Rover is made any more (obsolete product), but wireless keyboards are easily a...
