can't select device to record in gnome-sound-recorder

Forwarded from: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/33666 I can't select the device to record from in gnome-sound-recorder, it switches back to line-in or microphone whatever is enabled in the volume-control. If I enable both (by enabling the mic icon in the volume control) it switches to microphone. However, recording with my laptop only works from the "capture" device. I can record once from the capture device and play it back. However, when I record more then once, I can't select the capture device again. Also, I get multiple device lists after the first recording. Let me explain this: When I open gnome-sound-recorder, I can select the capture device. I have (in that order) Line-In, CD, Microphone, Phone, Aux, Capture as a choice. I now select Capture and click on Record (the button on top). I hit stop after 1 second or so and click the play button and hear my recorded sound. I see "Unbekannt-2" (Unknown-2) in the title (why not 1? - I didn't record anything before that). I then click record again and I see "Unbekannt-3" in the title, however the capture device switched back to Microphone and it doesn't record anything. Additionally, I now have 2 times the devices in that list (the above list 2 times in a row), each "Record" more, I get another list appended to the list. If I select any device in this (wrong) list, gnome-sound-recorder outputs ** (gnome-sound-recorder:8383): CRITICAL **: gst_alsasrc_mixer_list_tracks: assertion `this->mixer != NULL' failed to the console. Pressing the "New" button gives a new window with "Unbekannt-*" with * being +2 the one I had before (why not only 1 - probably the same fault as mentioned before, but I can now select the "Capture" Device, I have only 1 of each device in my device list and recording works. Pressing record again returns me to the original problem.
Another comment: I am having the duplicated sources problem myself... i was about to file a bug report for it but it looks like it's not worth it, anyway here are the steps to reproduce the bug on my system: - pick a sound source to record from from the drop-down list - start and stop recording - choose a different sound source - start and stop recording - choose a different sound source - enjoy duplicated entries in the drop-down list :) hope this helps, andre
The duplicate entries is bug #329922
Possible duplicate of bug 311278?

The bug I reported was not a problem in gnome-sound-recorder but in gstreamer. I was able to resolve my problem with the patch from this bug-report: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336075 Regards, Serge
With updates to gnome-media to not have duplicates (i.e. cvs), do you still see this?
Still happening with 2.16.0: - start the app - select an input source, CD by example - start recording, wait a few seconds, stop recording - change the input source - start recording The source is changed to "Capture"
Other Ubuntu bug about that: https://launchpad.net/products/gnome-media/+bug/53448 "Sound recorder in Dapper doesn't respect input selection on second recording. On the first recording input selection is respected and the correct input is used. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start sound recorder. 2. Select input 3. Record 4. stop recording 5. Select input again (it has been reset) 6. record When recording is started the second time, input is reset back to capture before the recording actually starts."
2007-09-07 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * src/gsr-window.c: (record_cb), (record_input_changed_cb), (fill_record_input), (gsr_window_init): Remember the current capture track when restarting a record, so it doesn't revert back to "Capture", Avoid a warning when trying to set the new capture track after the pipeline has been stopped (Closes: #335556)
