I see mencoder is supposed to be able to record audio from
an alsa audio source, but I've never been able to get it

combine the audio and video with a 0.4 second delay, and
have it work reasonably well, but that seems kinda klunky).
Any handy apps for recording video and audio simultaneously
(with a v4l2 only driver - not the original v4l)?
I do that with a webcam using ffmpeg. The format for video-only is this:
ffmpeg -f video4linux -s vga -re /dev/video2 demo.mpg
To add audio, you need to use "-f audio_device -i {device}" and specify
your device. I haven't wanted audio for what I'm doing, so I can't even
guess what the audio device on your system is called.
Thanks Bill and I did a yum install for ffmpeg and it is loaded on my
F7 now. It has a man page. Better read that a few times...
All the fancy DVR apps I've tried seem to freak out when
presented with a video source that doesn't have a tuner
(maybe it would be simpler to hack the driver to pretend
to have a tuner, but always tune to the same channel :-).
