Very true, however I don't recommend this method. Why, you ask? Well,skype-rec is a relatively unsophisticated script. Another thing I mentioned at the LinuxFest was that I lost a 45-minute interview once. That was due to skype-rec.
Skype-rec (at the time anyhow) simply glommed on to the in and out audio streams and then started Skype. When a call was initiated, it would create 00001in.au and 00001out.au files (don't quote me on the file names). If you hung up on one call and made another, it would create 0002 files and so on. However - if you SHUT Skype down and then restarted it, skype-rec starts over at 0001 again thus overwriting any existing file that you may have, forgotten to move, and want to keep. So, unless skype-rec has been improved (or you'd like to improve it), I don't recommend it. I recommend Gizmo and since neither are Free I'll freely chose between the better product without hesitation. There's nothing quite so embarrassing as losing an interview with someone and having to call them back.
