I found this how-to for linux/skype/alsa users here.
Hope this helps,

Is there any plugin or asoundrc trick that I can use to record a
playback stream?
My situation is this: I'm using a USB headset with Skype 1.4 and
I'd like to record the conversation, but Skype provides no way of
doing this. The USB audio device doesn't provide any "mix" input
that I can record, the only capture stream it appears to produce is
the one from the microphone (which I _can_ record during a Skype
conference, but it's not all that useful without the other voices).
I have managed to record the two streams directly to raw files
using the File plugin, but this is less than ideal because they
then need to be manually aligned, and it appears that if Skype is
interrupted and re-opens the sound device, it will start
overwriting the output files from the start.
What I'd like is to be able to set Audacity recording from a
virtual "mix" device, then start the Skype conference and have
Audacity record both my voice, and the voices of the others in the
conference.
I'm using ALSA 1.0.14 in Debian (Lenny) for i386.
Thanks,
Ed.
