arecord doesn't have a realtime priority mode, nuff said.

If arecord works for you, that's cool, but as I needed something that
would work daily, automatically and for years, I felt much better with
ecasound. And the command lines are just as simple as with arecord:

Record an ogg file from the "default" ALSA device:

$ ecasound -i alsa,default -o some.ogg

Record with realtime mode and double buffering:

$ ecasound -rt -z:db -i alsa,default -o some.ogg

Record this way for an hour:

$ ecasound -t 3600 -rt -z:db -i alsa,default -o some.ogg

Ciao
