Sure, all programs that are making sounds in windows must have their 
streams mixed before going to the Digital/Analog converter of the sound 
card. I think this combined stream is called waveout, as you can 
probably see from the volume control that controls this stream, whenever 
you lower the volume, all sounds collectively are adjusted. So this 
person's program records from this.

It's similar to taking a stereo audio wire and connecting it from a 
headphone out jack and plugging it into a mic port.
