Suboptimal (requires OSS emulation). Better:
arecord 4hourrecording.wav & sleep 14400; killall -INTR arecord
NB: This will record 8 bit mono at 8000Hz. Use "arecord -f cd" for
better quality.
arecord -d 14400 -f cd 4hourrecording.wav
will leave you with a .wav file that has a correctly formed header.
