It can be used to record sound from multiple inputs. For example your  
microphone and a skype input stream to record both halves of a  
conversation. I ran across it reading instructions for creating a Pod- 
cast. It was free and I had 5 minutes of boredom, so I installed it.   
However I never got around to using it. I suspect you installed it  
thinking it sounded useful and then forgot about it.

It shouldn't do any harm installed in your system and some day you  
might want to do something with it.

Software can be toys too.
