If by chance, you are using ALSA and don't have the OSS stuff
included, use arecord instead of rec.  I think there are some slight
variations on command line options.  For the heck of it, I'll include
one shell script I use for stereo recording that you can use as a
guide; I use it to record stereo cassettes with ALSA.
----- begin script -----
#!/bin/sh
# Record a stereo recording to the file specified in one and only
# parameter

arecord -v -d 2100 -f cd -t wav $1
----- end script -----
The '-d' option above sets a time limit of the recording in seconds.
'man arecord' should give you the rest of the options available for
ALSA users.
