I think I've figured out a set of commands using ecasound-2.3.5 and lame-3.96.1, taking in sound from /dev/dsp, which will let me record off Line-In for an exact period of minutes, create a raw PCM stream from that, and encode it on-the-fly into a MP3 file. 44.1Hz, 128k MP3 (all my MP3 players require 128k MP3), joint stereo.
ecasound -b 512 -i /dev/dsp -o:stdout -t 120 | lame -r -x -mj -s44.1 --resample 44.1 -b128 --lowpass 15 --cwlimit 10 - /home/webgiant/PrairieHomeCompanion.mp3 --tt "A Prairie Home Companion" --ta "KCUR/NPR"
I'm still working out the MP3 tag commands in LAME, as well as scripting the whole thing into using unique filenames so I could leave it for two weeks without overwriting the first week's recording.
The ecasound -t command is where the "timed recording" comes in. The number is time in seconds, so "A Prairie Home Companion" requires 120 minutes times 60 seconds, or 7200. The above number is a test number.

I use the 'date' command under FreeBSD & csh to have unique daily wardriving logs:
sudo dstumbler wi0 -m 60 -l ~/ds.log.`date +%Y%m%d` -g /dev/cuaa0 -s
Note the use of ` and not ' as the quote charater for the embedded command. I'm not positive of the use under your sheel of choice, but this gives me logs with names like ds.log.20050228 so they sort by date very well.
