Of course capturing the essence file from the broadcaster is the best
approach from speed and quality point of view.
I was the one that recommended using Audacity.  Using the analogue
hole is always a last resort, when time and expertise is limited
My use case was that the resultant file will be played on a cheap CD
player in an old peoples home to a listener's over the age of 90. I
usually send one CD per quarter.
The method is outlined here.

In my configuration I can record the "Stereo Mix" and then export as
160k stereo for burning to CD.
