I'd use traverso. It is more reliable to me than
audacity/rezound/sweep. It appears to have no problem with recording
long tracks, I just did a testrecord of 182 minutes length.
It works with alsa and jack, is cross platform, and if your
distribution doesn't have it included you can use the autopackage.
