Another option is ecasignalview. It's a simple ncurses app that comes with
ecasound (2.2.x). I've written it specifically for setting the recording
levels. Here's a screenshot:

Ecasignalview keeps count of max peak values and numbers of clipped
samples (per channel), supports multichannel interfaces and JACK/ALSA/OSS.

You can also use it as a simple ncurses audio file player/recorder:

[plain monitoring]
ecasignalview
ecasignalview /dev/dsp null

[playback]
ecasignalview foo.mp3 /dev/dsp
ecasignalview foo.mp3 alsa,default

[recording]
ecasignalview alsa,default newfoo.wav
