Having read all the comments over the last few days I went in and had
another play last night 
A few extra things I've noticed

In Gnome the sound server is not set to start at boot up.
my gnome sound recorder does not seem to have the same menu as all yours
I only have File, Control and help on my menu so I have no way into the
preferances.

IN KDE
In QA record I could not see any option to switch between 32/16/8 bit so
couldn't expreiment with that.
I tried killing arts but it did not seem to help.

In Gramofile there does not seem to be any way to alter the type of file.

I also tried re-congiguring my soundcard with ALSA


Having played with the above settings and tried saving to different
drives I am still getting 1.39 minutes of recording then a lot of
stutters as the program hangs.
Every WAV file I create no matter which software I use is exactly the
same file size 1.09gb
and the wav headers always say it is 100 minutes long.

Someone on the opera linux forum has posted a script he/she uses for
recording from the command line I may try that next.

Any Other Hints ?

Thanks again
