Re: [linux-audio-user] simple audio apps

Hello! For just recording and checking mixer-settings, I think ecasound or qtecasound, if you like GUIs, might be ok. Otherwise there is still ardour, muse and the other big ones, but they contain a lot of functionality. Recording mp3s: Why not just record audio-data to a raw (.raw or .cdr) file or .wav-file and convert them afterwards? For converting I found lame to be a very neat tool. It is command-line based and so v. good for scripting. Also it contains special compression=algorithms for speech.
