Or you can use the option built into Monitor in recent cvs -head

[Synopsis]:
Monitor a channel
                                                                                                                              
[Description]:
Monitor([file_format|[fname_base]|[options]]):
Used to start monitoring a channel. The channel's input and output
voice packets are logged to files until the channel hangs up or
monitoring is stopped by the StopMonitor application.
    file_format -- optional, if not set, defaults to "wav"
    fname_base -- if set, changes the filename used to the one specified.
    options:
        'm' - when the recording ends mix the two leg files into one using 'soxmix' utility which has to be installed on the system.
