Ecasound _is_ very lightweight.
According to 'pmap', Ecasound consumes about 19MB on my system
at startup.
If simple recording is all you need, Ecasound, or one of the
other alternatives mentioned is fine.
If you want Ecasound with some added convenience features,
I'll put in a mention for Nama.[1]
Starting up Nama consumes about 55MB of memory
in the text-only mode, and 75MB of memory in
the GUI+text mode.
And ardour2 consumes 160MB of memory at startup.
