%F_GETSOUND: Record sound from PC microphone
%
% Usage: [x,cancel] = f_getsound (x,duration,fs,xstr);
%
% Inputs: 
%         x        = an array containing the original samples
%         duration = length of recording in seconds (0 to 10)
%         fs       = sampling frequency in Hz (default 8000)
%         xstr     = optional string specifying the array name  
%                    to use in the prompt string
% Outputs: 
%          x      = an array of length N containing the  
%                   microphone samples, N = floor(duration*fs)
%          cancel = true if cancel button is clicked
