I'll have to dig out the manual for my piano and do a bit of reading to see what's really going on with those plugs and whatnot. The only thing I've ever plugged into it so far is headphones.
if you can plug in headphones, then you can plug it into a computer line-in jack with a suitable cable, just set the headphone volume on the piano for about 60-70% of full range, thats a good approximation of 1V P-P line input.
make sure the piano is plugged into the same power strip or wall outlet as the computer to minimize potential for ground loop hum/buzz on your audio.
now, if you're going to be doing a /lot/ of this, and want to be able to do it in realtime (playing while reading), getting a little mixer panel, with an XLR microphone and integral digital recorder (typically recording to an SD card), might be useful. something like.... http://tascam.com/product/dp-006/ or http://tascam.com/product/dr-40/
that 2nd one is a pocket sized digital audio recorder with integral stereo microphones and line input, it will record 4 tracks (stereo mics, stereo line in) concurrently directly to an SD card, you can then edit the audio files in audacity or whatever to clean them up and balance the levels, etc. the recordings will also be much higher fidelity and cleaner sounding than most any PC sound card inputs.
