How come quicktime can't record computer sounds?
Because Apple chose not to program the application to have this capability. (My guess is that it would open Apple up to charges by commercial DVD manufacturers of providing a means of pirating copyrighted material by the general public.)
Would it be difficult to add this feature to Quicktime?
It would like be difficult to convince Apple to do this but actually doing so would be simple. In fact, you can do so yourself by installing a module like Soundflower but controlling the audio pipeline would have to be done manually. Some third-party apps use this same approach—even going so far as automating the installation process and controlling the audio pipeline internally. Other third-party apps include their own audio control routines. Basically, you have numerous options ranging from badgering Apple to include such features to installing them yourself to purchasing an application that includes this feature built in, as well as, many others not mentioned.
