[linux-audio-user] VAR/VOR audio recording

hello one and all,

i would like a linux daemon that is always running and always listening 
to the microphone input of the soundcard and create a new file and 
record into that audio file when there is sound coming through the 
input.  and say after a certain number of minutes of silence or so, it 
will end the recording and keep listening.  then when sound comes across 
again, it will begin recording in a new file.

i would like to have control over the sound quality to optimize space 
and mp3 compression wouldn't be bad.

someone suggested ecasound with scripting to get it done, but i have no 
idea just how to do that.  i am running redhat fedora 2, which has 
esound-0.2.34-2 with also the devel package, and it recognizes the 
soundcard fine because i can play mp3s out with xmms and record in fine 
with a linux gui recording program.

thank you in advance.

lucas
