Back in the Nineties I used a program called RecAll (v2.2) during
pentests and other ...uhm... situation where I wanted to record
conversations when I was out of the room. It's a small app that records
sound to wav and gsm formats when noise/voice levels reach a defined
threshold. Was a great little app. 

Hey, look what Google found. It appears to be still alive (v 2.4) at
http://www.sagebrush.com.

Enjoy!
