I don't know how you check what the device name is if it isn't /dev/dsp, but have you given 
sound-recorder a try?

It is a command line recorder I use when triple j l at tw gets good (because I can 'at' it) :)  See if that suffers from 
the same problems and it might help you pin-point what is going on?
