Hey there,
I remember there was some application called audacity
in linux.(available in modern linux distros) It has
ports in windows and mac os/x also.But not sure
whether it'd work perfectly. That program revolves
around alsa driver and can record anything goign
through the mic/soundcard. It is not necessary to run
it from the gui mode, it also works from a terminal.

Cheers :)
