... or is there a Linux program that writes straight to disk ?
I've been working this afternoon with the 'sox' package from http://sox.sourceforge.net/. It comes with a utility called 'rec' that is about the simplest recorder ever. It's a CLI tool, give it a command like ...
$ rec -c 2 -d /dev/dsp test.wav
That's two channels (stereo) to record from the dsp device to test.wav. It does indeed record the wav directly to disk. And it uses a steady 5 - 10% of cpu in the process instead of Audacity's 85-95% (this on my PII-233) so there is less chance of pops or such if the thing doesn't keep up.
This is about as lean 'n mean as it gets.
