Does your VCR deliver a S-Video Signal ?
What connector do you use on the DC10?
If it does you have a problem with the Cable to the card or the VCR.

Try a input once the PAL Composite, so just change your recording 
command to something like that:
lavrec -f a -i p -R m -c 1 -q 90 -d 2 /home/m/nomefile.avi

The -i p, is important.
Reducing the quality to 90-95 might help in certain situations. When 
recording fails.

That is the important line telling you that it records from the S-Video 
connector.

Means that playback in B/W work ?

-c 2 is the default setting, does it also fail when you don't use the 
option ? Try adding the -U option.

-d  has nothing to do with the audio. Do you get a error message when 
you add that option ? If yes please post it.
Do you have in alsa the oss emulation enabled ?

Why do you want to record from the microphone input ? (-R m) Please 
connect it to the line in, and change the option to "-R l -s".
The -s is for stereo.
