Hi folks!
Time for me to repay Ubuntu!
I have just purchased a Zoom H2 Handy (Audio) Recorder.
Just plug it in and set it to USB and you will be able to access the files that are saved onto it's SD card.

Now here's the good bit...
The manual says that for the unit it to work as a USB microphone you need the 'obvious' operating systems <yawn>....
I found this command on another Ubuntu forum thread...

Code:
sound-recorder -A /dev/dsp2 -c 2 -s 44100 -b 16 -f wav -S 00:10 foo.wav

Copy and paste that into a terminal (make sure the H2 is set to USB microphone)

Voila!!

***Note*** for subsequent recordings you will have to change the 00:10 to the desired about of time you wish to record for (00:10 is 10 seconds) and also change foo.wav to something else eg. fo1.wav

ENJOY!!!
