Description Jono Bacon 2006-03-30 13:24:30 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.

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
