I'm trying to make a voice recording and audacity is fighting me.
pavucontrol's configuration and input devices display the AT2005USB microphone. Long story short: I read the chapter in Carla Schroder's book, checked web sites, configured audacity. The microphone monitoring bar looked like it was capturing my words but the saved file was a whopping 525 bytes. Then it told me it could not open the input device. Closed audacity and reopened it. Now it does not find the AT2005USB, only a 'default' device. Feh! I've no idea why it's not working for me. A web search tells me that ffmpeg can record audio and video as well as play them. I'm looking for an example command line -- for linux, not windows. There are many pages found by the search, yet ffmpeg is a large complex tool (with a long man page). I'm looking for recommendations beyond the man page that I can use to learn how to use ffmpeg for recording and playback of both audio and video.
