Ecasound <http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound> You will need lame for mp3 encoding. Recording is as simple as ecasound -i:/dev/dsp0 -o:somefile.wav ecasound -i:/dev/dsp0 -o:somefile.mp3 Take a look at Ecasound's examples at <http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html> If you consider Ecasound too complicated - I admit that it takes some time to get used to the concept of Chains and Chainsetups - take a look at arecord(1) which comes with alsa-utils (assuming you are using ALSA drivers). It can record to simple pcm formats (voc, wav, raw and au) and you could pipe its output to lame. HTH Jan -- Jan Weil http://linuxaudioblog.jawebada.de
