What you want to do is record the "monitor" source for your sink. $ pactl list | grep "Monitor Source" Monitor Source: alsa_output.pci_8086_27d8_alsa_playback_0.monitor You should then be able to use something like: $ parec alsa_output.pci_8086_27d8_alsa_playback_0.monitor >file.wav Or even something more fancy like: $ gst-launch-0.10 pulsesrc device=alsa_output.pci_8086_27d8_alsa_playback_0.monitor ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! shout2send ip=<blah> port=8000 password=hackme mount=stream.ogg However, I'm having trouble with this right now on my 0.9.11 install :s /me wonders if monitor streams are broken in 0.9.11 Col
