Hello- I've read lots of Q&A, but have no idea yet how to take output
from a sound card and save it to a file (wav file).  I've tried stuff
like sox with no success.  It seems I need to tell the sound card to do
the ADC thing and show it to me on a device.  Which device?  Also, what
are the /dev/dsp and /dev/dspW devices?  Lots of references to them - no
explanation it seems.

If it helps my ultimate goal is to take microphone or line-level input
to the sound card and press it onto CDs.

Thanks
-Glen
