If you tell us what kit you are using it will be a lot easier to answer these questions. Maybe this will make more sense when you've had some sleep

If you mean you want to play through an amp and then record into Riffworks there are several options. First you'll need an amp second if the amp has a line out you'll need a cable to go from there to your StealthPlug, if the amp doesn't have line out you'll need a mic, in front of the amp, plugged into your StealthPlug. You can set the sounds to come from your computer speakers with your pc audio settings, either in control panel or your soundcards' specific settings

Being able to play though your PC speakers is possible on most computers, but ultimately it depends on what type of soundcard your computer has. The typical way to do this is to connect a cable from the headphone output of the Stealthplug to the input jack on your PC's soundcard. The input jack is normally a pass through circuit and shouldn't introduce latency while monitoring what you're playing. Your mileage may vary.

Wedgebill's description of using an amplifier is spot-on. Does your amp have a line output? I'm actually in the process of making diagrams that outline how to do a lot of this. Should be finished this evening.
