Not for that session.

No idea for that session. I haven't tested since. (see below)

It was with an rme multiface. cpu 1 ghz celeron. kernel 2.4.21 (low 
lat). gcc-2.95.4.

It could also be a driver problem but I'm guessing we would have heard 
from others by now if the multiface couldn't record long sessions. Maybe 
I need to test that side of things too.

The one thing that makes me feel it is a qarecord problem is the 
countdown which happened when I pressed stop. Why would it do that? It 
finished on 1024 BTW and then I had to close the app. I can't remember 
if it stop responding before I closed it.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.
