For some reason when the build system was converted to
automake by this patch

    "Convert the build system to autotools"

the name of the output binary for crec was changed
from 'crec' to 'crecord'.

This patch corrects it back to 'crec'

That implies crecord is incorrect, I do not think so.

Can you explain why you would want to rename this back.

The motivation for this was to make it proper like cplay. Also similar to
aplay and arecord.

I don't really see a need for that, or why "crec" is wrong.

In any case if you did want to change that name 

a) it should be an explicit patch, not sneaked in as an undocumented and
unexpected side-effect of some other patch

b) the source file should have been renamed to match, if the name "crec"
is a massive problem then it should also be a problem that
"cplay.c->cplay" but "crec.c->crecord". If it's ok to have the source
file called crec.c what's wrong with the binary it builds being called
crec?

c) it's a nuisance to have to change existing test systems and apps that
launch "crec", or to create symlinks from crec->crecord.

This part I agree. Unfortunately this was not done transparently...

I dont mind renaming source as well..

I think bigger question is should we continue crec or crecord, my preference
is latter.

Yeah agree, lets decide on one and stick to that, forever hopefully :)

Ok let's change to crecord for consistency with arecord, and I'll do a
patch to rename the source to match.
