Command line sound recorder for Mac OS X

[Daniel Hazelbaker]

I was able to accomplish the same thing (see reference to CLI  
Recording on this list about 2 months ago) using JackOSX and a  
program called jack_capture.  It is a command line utility for  
recording from Jack that compiles under OSX.  I use crontab's to  
schedule recordings from our sound board during programs.

The only thing I had to change on jack_capture is I commented out the  
call to portnames_add_defaults() on line 826.
