Ah. So it's the DSP that contains the MP3 codec used in these players. I guess there's not much of a way to work around that short of maybe doing all of the recording via a plugin (I'm guessing that's the method to work around it in software that pixelma mentioned). Since the bug is in the MP3 codec that's stored in ROM, the only way to fix it would be to flash a new codec, but as the ArchosFAQ page mentions, nobody knows how to do that due to lack of documentation and tools.
