Look into sweep. Sweep seems like a pretty good audio app. I've used it
recently with a recording I made from asterisk to convert it to formats
that other people might be able to use. 

For recording prompts, I have had plenty of luck just using the
telephone and an extension to play a beep, then record. I then can
either hangup, or I have set it up to playback the recording after
pressing # in the recording.
