for recording dj-sets in clubs (which we present at
http://www.play-fm.net) I'm currently looking for a small & nice linux
command-line app. which can record from line-in. it has to support
both .mp3 and .wav-format and has to be stable for let's say
10h-sessions as well ;)
can you suggest me some tools?

You will need lame for mp3 encoding.
Recording is as simple as
ecasound -i:/dev/dsp0 -o:somefile.wav
ecasound -i:/dev/dsp0 -o:somefile.mp3
Take a look at Ecasound's examples at
<http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html>
If you consider Ecasound too complicated - I admit that it takes some
time to get used to the concept of Chains and Chainsetups - take a look
at arecord(1) which comes with alsa-utils (assuming you are using ALSA
drivers). It can record to simple pcm formats (voc, wav, raw and au)
and you could pipe its output to lame.
