No bloat no nonsense software: wavrec. See the output below. You might have to
compile the program yourself tho. Not hard. The first program I ever compiled.

[penguin@localhost compile]$ wavrec -h
Usage:  wavrec [options] output_file

Options:
        -h      This info (or use --help)
        -q      Quiet mode (no messages)
        -s rate Sampling rate
        -x      Debug mode
        -S      Stereo (undoes -M)
        -M      Mono (undoes -S)
        -t secs Set time limit
        -b bits Set number of bits (8/16)
        -k key  Set IPC Key for lock
        -R      Remove and recreate semaphore locks.
        -l      Lock for play.
        -u      Unlock for play.
        -L      Lock for record.
        -U      Unlock for record.
        -d dev  Override default of /dev/dsp

        -V      Display version and Copyright info (or use --version)


WAV parameters are normally taken from the input file(s),
but command line options can override them if required.
[penguin@localhost compile]$ wavrec -V

Many thanks to the LINUX folks,
