Help us fix the bug :-)

As a workaround you can write a wrapper program that

1) opens alsa device (don't use legacy /dev/dsp)
2) only after that switches to voice-recording.state
3) streams data to stdout

and on reception of SIGINT first

4) switches back to streoout.state
5) closes alsa device

This can be done as a shell script that uses arecord.
