pacman -Q alsa-utils
alsa-utils 1.0.27-3

I try to record input in my soundcard with:
arecord -D hw:0,0 -t wav -c2 -f S32_LE -r 44100 -V stereo sideA.wav

Then kill it when record is done with SIGTERM or SIGINT
but this don't work, trying these methods to end recording causes the process use 100%cpu and create thousands of small files (with size of 44 bytes each) in the directory when arecord was started

like sideA-10000.wav, sideA-999999.wav etc.

must kill it with killall -9 arecord

I can only end recording cleanly with SIGABRT, then recording is aborted fine and I have my sideA.wav without thousands of small wavs

SIGTERM and SIGINT works fine with alsa-utils 1.0.26-1

This task depends upon
