Relating to a bug filed at RedHat - "gnome sound recorder creates 0 byte
files in Phoebe 3/ RH 8.0.94"
[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=85818] I tried the
command gst-launch osssrc ! wavenc ! filesink as suggested by iain
<iain@prettypeople.org>.

The command seems to fail on my installation of RedHat Phoebe 3, and at
Iains request I'm submitting the bug here.

The result of the command is that after a few second I'm returned to the
terminal (output below), a 4Kb file is created- which does not play.

Hardware:
 Creative Labs AWE-64 
Software:
 RedHat Beta 8.0.94 (Phoebe 3)
 OSS (No Alsa installed).
Output:
