Is the sample format unsigned 8 bit? Do you get better audio quality if
you record the audio with parecord instead of your own software?

(You are probably using Outlook as your mail client. Outlook has the
option to prefix quoted lines with ">", please turn that option on. It
makes it much much easier to read inline comments.)

While you wait in the while loop, I presume you have the mainloop
locked? When the mainloop is locked, no code runs in the mainloop
thread, so it's no wonder that nothing is happening.
