You can just press Ctrl-C to stop your recording but this might remove
the last second due to audio data left in some buffers...

If you know how long your recording will be you can use dd to
record the file:
dd if=/dev/audio bs=8000 count=<seconds> | basictopvf -8 | pvftormd
ISDN4Linux 4 > <filename>
will recorde <seconds> seconds.

Yes, upgrade to HiSax 2.0.4 (patches isdn4kernel2.0.29,
isdn4kernel2.0.29.1, isdn4kernel2.0.29.2, isdn4kernel2.0.29.3 and
isdn4kernel2.0.29.4 (see ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/isdn4linux).

Use the source :-) But if you use a newer version of HiSax there
should not be any error messages.

Have a look at dtmf.sh in the scripts subdirectory of vgetty and
modify it to your needs.
