alsa-project/alsa-utils issue #296 was opened from thk686: I do environmental sound recordings where arecord runs for months to years with --max-file-time set to something like 15 minutes. It is very nice to have this feature, yet there is one aspect that is problematic. It is not simple to know which file is currently being written. One can time stamp the file names and ignore the most recent, which is probably the simplest. Nonetheless, I wonder if it could be the case that the current write file could be named something else, such as the file name but preceded by a . or other indicator, and have it renamed to its intended name once it is closed and arecord has moved on to another file.
