I changed the the heading of this thread, since this no longer concerns Audacity, but rather krec (that is, krec-trinity), which is thus an on-topic topic. Or maybe I hijacked this off-topic topic, to make it on-topic?

This is strange, because I have not done any special settings. I plug in the mic (USB) it gets recognized and then I start krec. Then
- you press the "new" file icon and the record button turns from grey to
red 2. press the record button (which is now red) 3. press the X button when you want to finish recording you get prompted for filename 4. done
Note: the produced file is with extention .krec and is a gzip with raw audio in 16bit little endian, 44100, stereo, so you can do zcat /tmp/test.krec | aplay -fcd to play it

Okay, so I went back into krec, gave it another try. I thought I was already doing pretty much what you said above in those steps, but the end result is the same.
I don't actually see a new file icon, for what it's worth, but that choice is available in the menu under File (or by Ctrl-N). When I do that, I see a change at the top (beneath toolbars) to "file with no name", and when I look in the menu under Play, I see a red button for Record (or just use Ctrl-R); also there is a red button for record on my toolbar.
There is no button for Stop that I can see, and nothing appears in the menus. There is an X in the toolbar, but that seems to mean just Close. When I hit it, I am told that the document has been modified, and asked if I want to save or discard it. Also, at the extreme lower right corner, there is a kind of counter or meter which is active, suggesting that I am recording something, or that krec wants me to believe that I am recording something; there are numbers showing Position and Size, which appear to be in minutes, seconds, maybe milliseconds or frames. Also, at the extreme upper left, there is a thin bar which on my machine appears to be purplish, and which I imagine to be some kind of graphic progress bar. Again, nothing happens: the think purplish bar remains the same.
When I try to save the file, or export it to wav format, I get empty files of a few kilobytes.
I cannot show you some of this, because ksnapshot disappears when I do anything with an active window, but here is a screenshot of my krec, which tells me that it is currently recording. See attachment.
