From this point, I would use sox to record the input from the soundcard, and
from here you have 3 options: save to .wav in preparation for burning a
CD-audio CD, pipe the output from sox into oggenc or lame in order to make
oggs or mp3s for compressed storage, or save to .wav until you decide which
of the two previous options suits you.
