Under linux, you can record just by catting from /dev/dsp or /dev/audio. These 2 devices behave in almost exactly the same way - the only difference is that by default /dev/audio uses m-law format while /dev/dsp uses 8 bit unsigned data by default. You can change these settings by using the ioctl(1) function.
I use sox for converting between formats. Eg to play a raw file to the audio device:
sox -t ub sound.raw -t ossdsp /dev/dsp
