Record audio when sound is detected, like “motion” does for video
For those not familiar with the "motion" project it monitors your camera and when enough motion is detected in the video field of view it records that to a video file. The project website is here What I'm looking for is something like that but for audio, does anyone know of any Linux apps that can accomplish this?

Indeed : rec ~/tmp/sound.wav silence 1 0.1 2% 1 3.0 2% : newfile : restart
By looping the recording process between silences, will also tell you when the sounds occurred.
