Yes, pulseaudio does seem to be the problem. I managed to fix it by a coincidence.

The following link is to a bug report about the erratic time elapsed shown by gnome-sound-recorder:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/282316

There is a fix there in Daniel Chen's PPA. When I added the PPA (https://launchpad.net/~crimsun/+archive), it upgraded pulseaudio as well as alsa-plugins, and my problems were fixed. It was a combination of a fix in libasound2 (which fixed gnome-sound-recorder) and pulseaudio which fixed my recording problem.

I am not sure if this should be marked as a duplicate of 282316, because the problem also includes pulseaudio but the fix is out there in Chen's PPA.
