Do people still use paudio?

It's a kernel module, and I don't even know if it is still maintained,
or if it's been superseded by anything better:
http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:nwc.syr.edu/~jdimpson/proj/#paudio

But it's a fantastic idea -- it creates a new file (/proc/audio) that
lets you copy/read/save whatever sound is going to the sound card. So
by directing its contents to a file from time A to time B you can save
whatever sounds you're hearing. (Hmm, doesn't ALSA have loopback?)

Speaking of ALSA, it's been merged into the kernel ... I'd been using
OSS/Free of late, which had been much much easier to install and get
going with my es1370 card ...

Another newish one is the General Sound Manipulation Program:

Dunno, but I've got that Brian Eno three-speaker stereo arrangement in
my living room, "the third mind": normal l and r stereo, plus a middle
speaker plays the sounds unique to either channel:

Also has much improved resampling quality over 12.16 ... no more
clipping!
