reducing line-in volume for recording

Hi all.

I would like to record from an audio source which is hooked up to my
sound card through the line-in jack, but the audio source has no
volume control of it's own, so I can't adjust the volume up and down
on the audio source. When I try recording from the audio source, the
resulting recording is pretty distorted.

I know that the line-in control has volume adjustment, but that volume
adjustment seems to be only for play back, not for recording. 

So, am I missing something, and there is actually a way of adjusting
the volume of line-in for recording, or will I have to content myself
with normalizing the recording afterwards? BTW, I am using
alsa. Thanks in advance for any help.

Greg
