Or ffmpeg ...

Did you check in alsamixer that the recording is actually turned on?
Just turning up the sliders doesn't suffice, you need to press space at
the right slider (if you can figure out which is the right one) to
toggle recording.  Alsmixer will display something like CAPTURE at the
bottom of the slider in red then.
