I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear that 'arecord -f cd test.wav' produces a file that claims to be stereo but as one channel is silent its difficult to tell. No I wish to record from the Line in jack of my sound card, it doesn't matter what the source is, I should be able to use either program to record this source. But sox and arecord will not record with the parameters I wish to use.
