My guess is that it has to do with the wav file header. arecord doesn't
know the duration of the wav file (since it's live), so it has to put
"something" in the wav header for duration. I would assume it puts
0xffffffff or something, meaning that oggenc interprets this as the file
length. I would suggest making arecord output raw pcm instead to make
sure there's no confusion.
