I'll take a stab, since you said no GUI and also USB based mic. Raspberry Pi project? I'm interested in this vein as well, especially after the recent post about voice recognition. I was thinking that Raspberry Pi's with mics could live around my house and all have dedicated always-open channels to a conference bridge in the main asterisk box. I was planning on using ALSA and a USB mic on a local Raspberry Pi asterisk instance.

So given that we know basically what you are trying to do, the original question was OSS versus ALSA for USB mic, correct? Has anyone had any thoughts on that? I thought ALSA was built in to the kernel and OSS required some hacks. But that is a pretty fuzzy recollection.

You are still being a bit evasive but should I understand that you want to run a headless machine with open microphones that records what ever it hears?
What do you want to do with each sound bite?
How long does the silence have to be before you close the recording and dispose of it (save, e-mail, upload, whatever).

Sounds like a security monitoring package (minus the video) should do the job?

A little Googleing shows up these.

What else do you want it to do?

Would Audacity be a better choice?

It would absolutely be a better solution. However, the recording is to be automated on a small system with no GUI, only console/SSH access. As such, running a full featured audio recording/mixing application in realtime (with user control) is not an option. :/
