Every sink has a source associated it, named <sink
name>.monitor, which can be used for recording. I couldn't
get audacity to use pulse as the recording device, but this
way you can create a noise file:
First, play some white noise (turn the volume down before
running this...):
pacat -p --device=ladspa_out < /dev/urandom
Then, record the output:
pacat -r --device=ladspa_out.monitor > noise.raw
Then stop both commands.
The resulting file is just raw samples, with the following
sample format: signed 16bit native endian (LE here) integer,
44100 Hz sample rate, 2 channels (stereo). It can be loaded into audacity using
File->Import...->Raw Data...
