Audio Recording Application

[Udo Hoerhold <udo@goodontoast.com>]

Hi,

I'm moving to Debian from Windows.  I've found a replacement for most of my 
apps, but there's one thing I haven't found a replacement for yet.

I use an app called Total Recorder to record audio that's coming into my sound 
cards input port.  TR can schedule recordings at regular times, and it can 
encode the audio in MP3 on the fly.

I'm sure this can be done in Linux, but I haven't found a good way to do it 
yet.  I don't have a problem with setting up cron jobs and running a command 
line app to do the recording.  I don't know which app would be able to do 
this, and how to tell it which port on the soundcard to use.

Can anyone suggest a good way to do this?

Thanks,

Udo
