Yes, I second that. Try with the following command (duration is in seconds): ~$> arecord -D plug:hw:1 --duration=60 audio_sample.wav It will record from the device specified by "-D". You can list (to see which device number to use) your devices using: ~$ arecord -l -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
