Log:
Change the "stop capture" icon to a Great Big Huge Square to try to make
it more obvious (particularly at 16x16 pixels) that it and the "start
capture" icons work like media controls.

OK, the filling in those buttons is a bit bigger than, say, some of the images in

        
https://www.google.com/search?q=start+recording+button&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=EAliUZDkKOWciQLDroHYDA&ved=0CD8QsAQ&biw=1024&bih=786

or in

although it's not bigger than the one in

        http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.goatella.ispeak/iSpeak-Button

The smaller center looks OK to me - is this a small-button (16x16) issue?

Also, the stop button in the first image in the latter search:

        http://sweetclipart.com/pause-play-and-stop-buttons-996

is all red - should ours be?  Or, alternatively, should the square be red, like:

        http://www.telax.com/blog/2013/03/feature-friday-stop-recording-button

(the start button being redder than the stop button might be a little bit odd - a red circle in a start button seems to 
be the standard, but maybe stop would be helped by a red indication as well).
