I've used the Gnome Wave Cleaner to clean audio recorded to .wav from LPs. 
gwc.sf.net

I am unaware of any KDE-based app that can clean audio like GWC can, 
particularly the cleaning of pops and clicks you'd get from a 333-1/3 LP.

I've also sed krec to record the audio through the Line In of the sound card. 
The line in is stereo. You'll need an RCA/stero mini-plug adapter. Connect 
the Line In to your stereo system in the same fashion you'd connect a tape 
deck to your stereo. In this scenario, the computer is acting like a 
recording device like a tape deck. 

Of course, I haven't done this in quite some time... well over a year.

P.S. This strikes me as off topic for this list, though...
