I think it's possible, because maemorec handless it (recording audio) correctly.
Does it record audio which is generated by the system (i.e. exactly what you want) or does it record from the microphone?

Does anyone know how to record all the sounds coming from the tablet using either gstreamer, mplayer, or ffmpeg? (Preferably gstreamer, though.) I haven't found a way to do this after all my googling.
With GStreamer I don't see why you couldn't insert a (GStreamer software component) splitter (or whatever the correct terminology is) and pipe the output to file (while leaving the other side to go to the usual audio sink). I'm not sure if this can be achieved by tweaking conf files, or if it's hardwired into the media player though.

With mplayer can the output not simply be sent to a file rather than the audio hardware (e.g. -dumpaudio, it may also be possible to grab the audio later in the decode process, anyone know)?
