Recording won't work
Last modified: 2006-04-06 13:56:39 UTC
Please describe the problem: I am having problems recording on a Sony VAIO VGN-TX1XP mini laptop with Ubuntu Dapper and GStreamer 0.10. When I access the volume properties, it says I have the following devices: HDA Intel (ALSA) Realtek ALC260 (OSS Mixer) These are the available sliders in the mixer: Playback Headphone PCM Front Microphone Capture Capture Capture 1 Options Input Source (with only Mic in a combo box) (horizontalk rule) Input Source (with only Mic in a combo box) NOTE: This is interesting because I had different devices available just before I did a dist-upgrade and got a kernel update. The current kernel is Linux ubuntu 2.6.15-19-386 #1 PREEMPT Mon Mar 20 16:46:02 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux. When I try and record something in the Sound Recorder I can select between Capture and Capture 1 as inputs. I have determined that Capture is the one that works, and when I run 'arecord test.wav' it works fine. When I try and record with the sound recorder, I get nothing. To provide some debugging info, I did this: export GST_DEBUG=*:5 export GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 gnome-sound-recorder noinput.txt 2>&1 The gzipped output is at http://jonobacon.org/soundrecorderdebug.txt.gz Strangely when I hit the Record button in the sound recorder, it does not seem to make the stop button clickable - does it even start recording? Steps to reproduce: 1. Load sound recorder 2. Press the record button Actual results: Nothing is recorded and the stop button canot be clicked. Expected results: The file should recorded and the stop button should be clickable while recording is happening. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:

That was an issue with the Ubuntu gst-plugins-base0.10 package shipping a CVS patch where some other CVS change were required, fixed now
