This is the time needed for 2^31 bytes. Stopping recording after that
is a feature because .wav files (as supported by arecord) have a 2 GB
limit. When recording to a file, it would be possible to create
multiple files, but this is not possible with stdout.
Use "-t raw" to avoid the .wav restrictions. (This requires you to
tell aplay about the format.)

Clemens
