I have been getting frequent "overruns" of a few hundred milliseconds while recording sound with the alsa recorder, arecord. I have looked everywhere except in the arecord source code to find out what the default setting is for the parameter -B, --buffertime=#, which adjusts the buffer to a number of microseconds, but have not been able to find anything. Man page says nothing, help screen says nothing, etc. But setting this value to two million has solved the overruns. My question is: Is two seconds a reasonable value for buffertime? Does anyone know what the buffertime is by default? Thanks for any advice or pointers.
