The following ALSA config enabled the recording of played sound
It is no longer working, any ideas as to why?

None at all, but I'd put money on pulse-audio.

I found the following on the net a while ago (still using F10 then), and
successfully used it to record a bit of radio I was listening to through
firefox+flash -> pulse-audio. It's slightly tweaked from the one I found,
and I don't recall where I found it:

#!/bin/bash
# pa-record
OUT="$1"
if [ -z "$OUT" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 output-file">&2
exit 1
fi
rm -f "$OUT"
EXT=${OUT##*.}

# Get sink monitor:
MONITOR=$(pactl list | grep -A1 '^\*\*\* Source #' | grep '^Name:
.*\.monitor$' | cut -d" " -f2 | tail -n1)

# Record it raw, and convert to a wav or ogg
echo "Recording to $OUT ..."
echo "Close this window to stop"
if [ "$EXT" == "ogg" ]; then
parec --format=s16le -d "$MONITOR" | oggenc --raw --quiet --quality=4
-o "$OUT" -
else
parec -d "$MONITOR" | sox -t raw -r 44k -sLb 16 -c 2 - "$OUT"
fi

Neil,

After some investigation I managed to alter the above script to work for
me. Unfortunately it didn't work out of the box, but it was easily put
right.

And what were the things you did to put it right? Would be good to know ...
