Lavrec has been working fine for months but lately every time I try to
record something it gives up, saying:

   ...lots of this...
   INFO: [lavrec] CB=02540096 ND=012864 BL=001 NB=104
   INFO: [lavrec] CB=02545376 ND=014048 BL=001 NB=105
**ERROR: [lavrec] Error reading audio: Audio task died. Reason:
    Error Audio ring buffer overflow

Recording time  :  0.00.00:00
Lost frames     : 000
A/V sync ins/del: 000/000
Audio errors    : 000
++ WARN: [lavrec] We're not stopped yet, use lavrec_stop() first!

If I use -a 0 it records fine (no sound obviously).
Now, the only thing I recall changing around the time this started is
my SDL libraries. I since tried reinstalling them but no improvement.
Does lavrec 1.6.1 depend on SDL for recording sound or is it a red
herring? Any ideas for what else might cause this?

I looked through audiolib.c and there's a bit that says "Uncomment this
and run testrec if you're getting audio capture problems..." so I did.
testrec fails saying:

Error: Error initializing Audio
Error: audio sample size not 8 or 16

even though I passed -a 16 and it prints it out correctly! There's a bug
there somwhere. lavrec prints the INFO though. It means nothing to me
but I can post more of it if it will help.

I can record TV sound with audacity so the sound system is fine.
