The ``>'' stands for redirection operator or is it the PS2 shell's
variable?

Yes, I'll try to do this, the options and arguments are right, but the
``>'', if it is PS2, isn't right, the last argument should be a
file. And ``-c'' want the number of channels (IIRC 1 for mono and 2 for
stereo).
So for example we can type something like this:
$ audiorecord -d /dev/audio0 -e linear -P 16 -p mic -s 44100 -t 3000 -v 240 -c
2 file
I tested it on my NetBSD 4.0 box, and it worked perfectly (after I
recorded my voice I checked it via audioplay(1)).
Good luck Volker and HTH!
Ciao, Leonardo
