Yup, it records audio. It even lets you select from a number of
different formats for the audio.

The one "hassle" is that it records raw bits of audio and video -
possibly interleaving video across multiple drives for extra
performance - and then runs a script to convert those to your desired
format. That takes a bit of time.
