Just plug the firewire sound card to a firewire hard disk?

That's the idea behind firewire. The fine print says that a DV camera
can be plugged into a disk drive and they play nice. I've never tried
it though.

Ah, corporate espionage. ;-)

The disk drive doesn't know anything about filesystems. It knows how to
respond to commands in the protocol borrowed from SCSI. The FireWire
audio breakout box know nothing about filesystems or SCSI commands. It
knows how to stream audio. You need a computer between the two, or built
into one or the other.
I believe there are MP3 players that can record to MP3, perhaps that
would be a solution. They are unlikely to have been tested with daylong
recordings, though.

Firewire is *supposed* to be a peer-to-peer architecture. For any two
devices to play nice together a computer isn't supposed to be
necessary. The filesystem is an interesting point though. I've never
used Firewire in other than a computer environment so I don't know if
it works as advertised.

ISTR a CD will hold something like nine hours of MP3, so 24hours would
fit in a couple of gigabytes, though I haven't seen any flash based MP3
recorders quite this big.
OTOH, here is a disk based MP3 recorder (with integrated microphone)
with a 20GB capacity. It's maximum recorded file size is 512MB, but
according to the manual it'll automatically start a new file once the
512MB limit is reached. ...kind of a slick device, actually.
