Thanks Frank to point me on that, sorry for having bad reflex inherited
from a too long Windows music utilisation :)
Promise I will make a desintoxication cure of graphical frontend !

So as you said ecasound is a charm for this :

with this :

ecasound -G:jack,recasound,notransport -i jack -o dubphil-live.wav

the recording is smooth and the result is perfect ! In fact quite
perfect... the wav file is in mono, but I will quickly find how to get a
stereo file.

conclusion : MuSE needs definitly a lot of work...

I would like a minimum of human interaction like just hitting one key,
I've got not enough time during the live act to rename the next file for the
ecasound command and stop the running ecasound with ctrl-c. Perhaps I
will upgrade my RAM to 1Go; I think it is the memory the guilty isn't it
?

Thanks again
