Ok , i understand better now! You can avoid the ctrl-c segfault in 
arecord ( which could be fixed in some days),
by using the -d switch  (duration in sec.)  , if you initially know the 
recording time :
arecord -D ameter -d 60 soundrec.wav

Merci (parce que envoyer des rapports de bugs prend du temps!)
