"arecord" running in the background? WTF?

Out of nowhere, suddenly an audio recording call is running on my system:
root 994 78.5 0.0 64892 3256 ? RL 17:24 70:31 arecord -c 1 -f S16_LE -r 8000 -t raw
I've just started my computer - and I definitely didn't start that process!
Where did it come from?

...to be continued...

UPDATE:
I think it was related to the package "randomsound" I've installed before rebooting - see bug #803222 on launchpad
