Yes it is. If your mic has a DC offset you might get only negative or
only positive levels though. What sample spec are you using in your call
to pa_simple_new? Perhaps you have to specify the exact format for
gnuplot, if it guesses wrong.

By the way, there are plenty of programs that do simple recording -
arecord, parecord, audacity etc should be able to do that as well.
