Description:
KHdRecord is an audio recorder can record soundfiles from a sound card directly to the harddisk. You can use it like a tape-recorder, and sample into wave or directly into MP3.
KHdRecord has great Performance, uses very less memory and harddisk space and is as feature rich as a Sound Recorder could get!!!
You won't find any other Sound Recorder in Linux/Unix which could even come closer to KHdRecord!!! ;)
The program directly accesses the sound and the mixer device. If you use it as non-root, these devices must be accessible for the user. Because /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer are symbolic links on the most systems, the devices behind the links must be accessible.
Features: Advantages of KHdRecord over other so called sound recorders (e.g., KRec):

Recording Video's Audio, Streaming MP3, Real Streams, MMS Streams, etc. Streams from Amarok/noatun/real player/kaffeine/kmplayer etc. here are the steps:
--------------------------------------
a. Run KHdrecord before any sound application (to make sure that Sound Card is free (/dev/dsp))
b. So, start khdrecord from K->Multimedia->Direct-to-Disk Recording (KHdRecord)
c. run Amarok or Noatun etc. (open any Stream Real, or from www.shoutcast.com)
d. Press Record button on KHdRecord.
--------------------------------------
This is a SLACKWARE 10.x package:
--------------------------------
To install in other Distros:
1. tar -zxvf *khdrecord*.tgz
2. cp opt/kde/bin/khdrecord /usr/bin
3. cp opt/kde/share/applnk/Multimedia/KHdRecord.desktop $KDEDIR/share/applnk/Multimedia

SKYPE CONVERSATION RECORDING
--------
We need to run 'artsd' with "Full Duplex"
1. run "kcmshell arts" (sound system)
2. click on Hardware tab
3. [x] enable Full Duplex
4. artsdsp -m khdrecord & ; echo "this starts khdrecord with arts sound+recording support ";
5. cd skype-1.0.0.20; echo "goto the *skype folder* where the sounds etc are stored, so that *call ring* in skype works! "
6. artsdsp -m ./skype; echo "This starts skype with arts support (mic enabled) which allows skype to send streams to arts. "
5. Press 'Start' in khdrecord to start recording SKYPE conversation!!!

Please NOTE:
I'm not the Author of the Program KHdRecord! I just compiled and made the shortcuts work!
I strongly feel that KHdRecord must be integrated into KDE, and 'krec' to be discarded for its numerous user unfriendliness!!!
krec - JustWon'tWork!(tm) certified!!! ;)
Changelog:
7.8-1: commented 'ARTSD' dependency, which allows to compile the program atleast in archlinux.
7.8 see homepage!
7.8-3 just added the icon in the package. No need to upgrade if you are happy with the current icon or no icon (in kmenu)
7.8-4 Made startup of KHdRecord smarter by checking whether artsd is running or not and, if yes then artsdsp -m khdrecord else simple 'khdrecord'!
