Does anybody know how to override the -d switch
used with arecord? I
simply want to start recording and exit when I want with ctrl+c. For
now I have to estimate the time I want to record and that is not
always possible, hence very difficult to set the -d switch.
Greetings,

Well, arecord seems to do the right thing if one just sets -d longer
than one expects to record, then hits Ctrl+C to stop. And by the
right thing, I mean that if arecord needs to write a header, such as
for a WAVE file, then it does indeed write the correct header before
exiting. Doesn't it work that way for you?
