Still struggling with this problem, but ran some more tests:
- I thought it might be a disk access or latency issue; So
I invoked arecord with "nice -n -20" and directed the recording

-c2 -r 48000 for the first 30 seconds. After 30 seconds have
passed, however, it records only a loud, hissing noise with
no evidence of the original sound source.
The length of time until noise (30 seconds) seems very
accurate and repeatabl
