The quick and easy way that I implemented was adding the following 
extension:

exten => **732,1,Answer()
exten => **732,2,agi,record.agi
exten => **732,3,Hangup()


If I want to record a call, I conference it up to extension **732. 
Since I use a Cisco 7960, it is easy to do.  Just hit conf, dial **732 
and then hit join and poof, I'm recording the call.
