Let me understand this: in the phone calls you are recording,
there is a piece of _audio_ signal, comming between the
first and second ring, which carries the caller's ID.
Is that right? Can you please elaborate? I never knew
there is something like that coming on a phone line.

So this caller ID is an _audible_ signal,
present in the audio of the phone call?

Of course: just rec(1) everything,
without using the 'silence' effect.

What you are doing now is the exact opposite:
you are telling rec(1) _not_ to write until
a certain treshold of 'silence' is surpassed.

I am too lazy now to look up your exact 'silence' parameters,
but could it be that the caller ID audio signal contains
enough 'silence' so that rec(1) pauses?
