By the same token, wavrec seems to work but I don't yet know how to specify what input the sound driver should use for recording. I got curious and did "man pcm" to see if any relevant answers were in there, and saw something called /dev/dsp at the end of the man page. I got even more curious and ran "cat /dev/dsp" and got a streaming infinite string of hearts and happy-faces :) it works with /dev/audio too! To replicate this, you need to be logged in as root probably and your virtual console must be set to cons25 (TERM).
