mpegrec (and wavrec, which is bundled with this program) provide direct-to-disk recording of wav and mp3 files from your sound card. 'lame' is required for mpegrec to encode audio on-the-fly to mp3. mpegrec is a simple, multithreaded (and multi-buffering) C application. It has been tested on a dual PII-450 running Linux Mandrake 7.0 with a Soundblaster PCI128 and works well capturing audio at 44.1kHz stereo directly to a 192kb mp3 file. The commandline interface is simple and allows recording for a specified number of seconds, or until Control-C is hit.
