Comments:       Normal output is out.ogv which can be played back
                in vlc etc. As long as $ aplay <file.wav> works for you
                $ recordmydesktop
                To quit recording press Ctrl + c 
                Highly recommend you read man page in doc TCE

                If error "Could not open PCM device hw:0,0"
                $ recordmydesktop --device plughw:1,0 
                Or if using pulseaudio                 
                $ recordmydesktop --device pulse
                Pulseaudio members may also need alsa-plugins
                and setup libao YMMV not tested by me

                If mic capture is needed, please test mic first.
                see forum post=alsamixer mic activation tip with mini tutorial
                If you do not need sound then run the command with 
                --no-sound (this does reduce CPU usage)

                If error "Broken pipe: Overrun occurred"
                Try using a lower frequency eg 48Khz -> 40
                $ recordmydesktop --device plughw:1,0 --freq 40000
