If all you want to do is record live audio, there is
a very simple command line utility called "wavrec" (I
think it comes with the wavplay distribution) that will
record from the audio inputs directly to a .wav file.
You would it like this:
wavrec -b 16 -s 44100 -S filename.wav
to record in stereo at 16-bit and 44.1 KHz. You just
give it a Control-C to stop it, although this will cause
the header info to not match the actual length of the
recording (not usually fatal). Or you can use the -t
option to specify how long to record.
