Here is a sceen shot of your file loaded into Conrad Parker's Sweep
(which uses libsndfile for file I/O):

Much of the file is silence and even the lowest part is at -12dB.
I don't get it. Timemachine's little
meter is bouncing away in sync with the input, which implies
that it's getting a signal. So what I see so far is that one
of three things could be happening:
A) 'timemachine' is not really recording properly but writing
the file correctly
Maybe, but unlikely.
B) 'timemachine' is recording okay, but not
writing the file
correctly.
Very unlikely.
C) 'alsaplayer' isn't reading/interpreting
the file correctly.
Even more unlikely. To prove this is not the case, why not load
the file into an editor like sweep, normalise it, save it and then
try playing the new file with alsaplayer.
Anybody got any good guesses on what to check next?
Why not start with a known good audio source, record it with
timemachine and then try playing the timemachine recorded
part with alsaplayer.
