A very small, bare-bones software that does exactly what you need, is called (rather obviously) "Audio Recorder", installed like this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:audio-recorder/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install audio-recorder
Files are saved automatically to the ~/Audio directory.
--------------------
Get PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol)
On Input devices tab, see that you have "Monitor of Built-in Analog Stereo" -- this is a virtual recording device with which you can record whatever's coming out of your speakers.
UPDATED: Now we just need to route your microphone to your speakers too. Do this by typing pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1 at the shell prompt.
If you now record with audacity, or recordmydesktop, from the "Monitor of Built-in Analogy Stereo" (see Recording tab of pavucontrol after you start recording), you'll get your microphone as well as whatever's coming out of the speakers. This means that you can now easily record Skype meetings or private Google+ Hangouts.

Install Audio Recorder:
