Ecasound is the perfect tool for this. We have used it for several
years (six or so) to do several unattended recordings *a day* with
only a handful of broken recordings through all these years (which
weren't ecasound's fault generally, but more like: Someone stepped on
an important cable etc.)
Besides -t also the -z option is useful to switch on double buffering
and of course "-rt" should be used to have ecasound run at realtime
priority to further reduce the risk of dropouts.
You start ecasound through crond then. It's also a good idea to
somehow set the clock in advance. We just used netdate some minutes
before starting to record to synchronize the clock.

He needs an audio application that will record
for a specific amount
of time, say, for 4 hours, without user intervention. He needs to be
able to say, begin recording conference at 9:00 AM and stop at 4:00 PM
and walk away without ever thinking about it again. [...]
I think ecasound can do what you want.
Here's the man page:

the -t option looks relevant.
