Sox converts samples to its internal format when reading and converts
back again when writing, so that's huge lag.
Also, it uses a very small buffer for both ops, so it's really not the
best tool to record.
I suggest you try out my little "rec" tool that records RAW PCM from
the sound card to see if you can record correctly.

That's CVS, you can download the whole thing in a tarball at:

I'm having trouble recording 16 bit samples with sox in FreeBSD, the
recordings skip and do other weird stuff. I've tried this with 4 different
sound cards, and with both the pcm and the old snd kernel drivers. Anyone
else having the same problem?
