Recorded with "arecord" utility.  I see the filesize around 380KB for a 
20 sec recording.  However could not check with aplay -f DAT <file 
name>, since a get error: aplay: main:508: audio open error: No such 
file or directory
So I am now checking whether the file has to be placed in a different 
directory.  Any thoughts?

Thanks for your good help and guidance.
