Audacity was instable and is just crashing after some seconds without any error. Thus I want to use a program similiar to dvgrab and found arecord. If you configured ALSA properly through your favorite control panel you can just use it this way:
arecord -f S16_LE -c2 -r48000 -t wav > myrecord.wav
is the same as using the dat preset
arecord -f dat -t wav > myrecord.wav
