Hello Kenneth,

I asked this question as well to this list a couple of months ago and
was advised to use paudio - here is a quick description. It will allow 
you to save the sound to a wave file and then you can use your favourite
encoder to convert it to a mp3 file.

Title:              paudio
Version:            0.1
Entered-date:       13JAN98
Description:        paudio, or /proc/audio, is a file that
                    when read from, will return the data that is
                    currently being written to the audio device
                    (/dev/audio or /dev/dsp).  This is useful if an
                    audio application doesn't allow you to save an
                    audio file.  Note that to use this effectively,
                    a moderate knowledge of Linux modules is needed,
                    as well as a moderate knowledge of digital audio
                    techniques.  Feel free to email me with
                    questions (although I gaurentee no answers!).
