Need a convenient method to record ALL sound in- and output

Question

Here's what I'm going to do: I'm working for a small music magazine and I'm going to be responsible for some of the interviews from now on. As they are often done by telephone I'm planning to use Skype, as it's a cheap method to call to foreign countries.
Now I need a simple and convenient method to record these calls for later review. I tried using 'arecord', but it takes sound from the capturing device set in 'alsamixer', which is either the microphone or the mixer (general sound output). However it has to be the microphone, otherwise I cannot talk in Skype.
So, 'arecord' is going to record the device which is set to capture, which is the microphone, so, I'm only getting my voice recorded, but not that of the interviewee.
It would be ok to have something that just records all audio output (independently of what's set in alsamixer) as I usually redirect the microphone to the output as well as I wouldn't hear me that well with the headset on. Commandline-tools would be prefered.

Hi,
Do you mean that you want all 7 dates together on 1 row?
Here's one way:
SELECT LISTAGG ( TO_CHAR ( SYSDATE + 1 - LEVEL
                          , 'DD-Mon-YYYY'
                ) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY LEVEL)    AS txt
FROM    dual
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 7
This is an example of String Aggregation, that is, taking a column on multiple rows, and concatenating all the values (however many htere happen to be) into 1 big string column 1 row.
Like everything else, exactly how to do it depends on your Oracle version.
For more on String Aggregation, including differetn techniques for different versions, see http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/StringAggregationTechniques.php
