bug in alsa-utils 1.0.28 - arecord

[Jordan Kagan]

Hello,

I encountered an issue with using the arecord binary in this most recent
version. When using the '-d' duration flag, the program will continue to
open files AFTER the duration has expired. The issue occurs when the
capture() while loop hits the break due to a value returned by pcm_read().
When the while loop is exited, the program hits the do-while loop and
continues to open files indefinitely. If rcount is returned from
pcm_read() instead of "result", the problem does not occur.

Thanks,

Jordan

Yes, I fixed it here:
