Not sure if matching this criteria, but the very basic I've
successfully used like years ago to record from some old LPs is plain
arecord. From the MAN output:
------------
NAME
arecord, aplay - command-line sound recorder and player for
ALSA soundcard driver
SYNOPSIS
arecord [flags] [filename]
aplay [flags] [filename [filename]] ...
DESCRIPTION
arecord is a command-line soundfile recorder for the ALSA
soundcard driver.
It supports several file formats and multiple soundcards with multiple
devices. If recording with interleaved mode samples the file is
automatically
split before the 2GB filesize.
aplay is much the same, only it plays instead of recording. For
supported soundfile
formats, the sampling rate, bit depth, and so forth can be
automatically determined
from the soundfile header.
If filename is not specified, the standard output or input is
used. The aplay utility
accepts multiple filenames.
------------
arecord and aplay chould come with alsa-utils:
% apt-cache search 'arecord'
