saving music to a binary file

Hi
I'm doing a project using sound files and I have a problem. As a matter of fact I have to record the a voice using my line in (sound card) and saving it to a binary file since I wound be using another programming tool (C,C++)for processing these data.
I would like to know if you have any idea of how to go forward. I have been able to record the sound into other formats (.wav,.mp3...) but not to a data file.
thanks

Well, .wav and .mp3 are binary files. AFAIK, the formats of these are in the public domain. In fact (again, AFAIK), .wav is just the raw binary data with some header information. I don't have a URL off-hand, as I've never tried playing with wav files myself, but any decent search engine ought to be able to help you.
