 STAT() and record() are doing exactly what they are
 supposed to. Use the "s" flag to fetch the file size. You
 have to try a few hangups and figure out a minimum
 file size that qualifies as a recording in your setup.

 Based on the options you select for record you could
 have a file that is 25k in size but only has dead air,
 because that is how long it took to detect the hangup
 in your setup. Or you could have a 10k file with two
 words in it. Just depends.
