Yes. All you're doing is preventing the microphone from echoing to the
speaker; recording will still work normally. (To mute the microphone so
that it's silent when recording, you'd have to choose Adjust volume for ->
Recording in the Options.)

What you described is perfectly normal. I have my radio plugged into Line
In, and keep Line In unmuted so that I can listen to the radio through my
(vastly superior) PC speakers, rather than my radio's cheap speakers -- but
even if I had playback from Line In muted, I could still record if I so
desired. (I don't, usually, but I *could*.)
