record system output directly (without microphone)

record-out.fish

# note this is a fish function
# if you're using fish shell, create a new file called ~/.config/fish/functions/record-out.fish
# and copy this in there
#
# otherwise, just use line 2 and replace $argv with a filename such as out.mp3

function record-out
	parec -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor  | lame -r -V0 - $argv
end
