years later the struggle continues... how to specify the recording device, lo and behold:
➜ ~ arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: CX20590 Analog [CX20590 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Device [USB PnP Sound Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
➜ ~ arecord -f S16_LE -r 44100 --device="hw:1,0" plik.wav
Recording WAVE 'plik.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono
^C
Aborted by signal Interrupt...
So the format for device string is hw:<card>,<device>
You get what we call a line-in input. It is much less sensitive that the mic-in port and every motherboard should have one (the port colour is blue) by default. You can go to sounds options > recording devices to enable this port. Then go to your recording application (like Audacity) and select the line-in for recording.

You can use something like Virtual Audio Cable.
There you can set different Audio Devices and reroute them how you like it. You could for example output Spotify on Cable 1 which is also used as an input in Zoom. But your browser for example uses Cable 2 which is used to route the output normally to your headphones.
There is a free version where you get an ad every now and then to test things out, but it's quite handy for specific use cases.
EDIT: It seems they changed their license model to a different one where most of program is free, but you'll have to donate to use more inputs or outputs.
