wrong stopped or crash - lack metadata in file
if you have mplayer:
if you have mplayer:
Code:

Thank you once again for this outstanding solutions. I am really very very impressed. You are a real audio professsional !! Problem solved thanks to your advice how to stop recording. After this, file is correct and fully playable.
If you would be so kind please answer for some questions, what may have been useful for many users.
1. If I am recording quiet sounds some clicking is heard in the background. No matter if this is wav or m4a audio and which application is used for recording. This problem was also described in this thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=54860
2. When I am recording sound using, for example, recorder app high volume sounds are almost always oversteered. In VoiceNote or when recording video with standard camerra application are not.
Do you know why is it so?
3. Is there any difference between recording "m4a" sound with the standard camera application and this method you have proposed? I mean set of commands.
4. What is the meaning of output-format parameter. What could have happen when this is different from 0.

Code:
amixer -qc0 set PGA 0
Code:
alsamixer -c0
or
You can use different audio source instead of 'source.hw0':
source.voice (hardware dsp)
source.record
Code:
gst-launch-0.10 -e pulsesrc device=source.record ! audio/x-raw-float,channels=1 ! audioconvert ! nokiaaacenc bitrate=64000 output-format=0 ! hantromp4mux ! audio/x-m4a ! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/audio.m4a
3. Is there any difference between recording "m4a" sound with the standard camera application and this method you have proposed? I mean set of commands.
- audio bitrate - 128kbps vs you can choose
- audio rate - 48000Hz vs 44100Hz
- audio source - source.record vs you can choose (ad 2.)
- both has one channel
- the same codec - nokiaaacenc
- the same container - hantromp4mux
4. What is the meaning of output-format parameter. What could have happen when this is different from 0.
Code:
gst-inspect-0.10 nokiaaacenc
(1): ADTS - Audio Data Transport Stream format (can be streams directly into playable aac file)
(2): ADIF - Audio Data Interchange Format

When you click Tab, you'll see all capture settings. You can use arrow keys to adjust it.Code:alsamixer -c0

camera application vs gstreamer:

(0): RAW - AAC Raw format (it needs container)Code:gst-inspect-0.10 nokiaaacenc
(1): ADTS - Audio Data Transport Stream format (can be streams directly into playable aac file)
(2): ADIF - Audio Data Interchange Format
Here are the samples of clicking noise. I have noticed that when sim card is "active" clicking noise has higher frequency; when the phone is in offline mode this frequency is lower. Audio04 is the sample of this first situation, Audio05 for the second one. Additionally, in this second situation I hear probably more distortions to the recorded sound.

this set gain for it (0-127), here is 60
Code:amixer -qc0 set PGA 60

Do you know what is the difference in parameters and quality of recorded sound using these sources? And why source.voice has hardware dsp support and others have not?
source.record has wider range 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 44100, 48000 [kHz] or sth like that.
Why don't you check its quality? You can use gstreamer for that. Source.voice is optimized for better understanding human voice through gsm transmision and maybe for some background noise cancellation.

amixer -qc0 cset name='AGC Switch' on amixer -qc0 cset name='AGC Switch' off
Code:
alsamixer -c0

If audio04.m4a and audio05.m4a was recorded by build in mic or headset mic? How do you recognize if sim card is active or not? Are you meaning active sim card as gsm online or making call / send / receive sms?
