Description Germán Poo-Caamaño 2006-05-31 02:22:30 UTC 
If I set the locale to es_ES and I open gnome-sound-recorder, I get a lot of warnings complaining about UTF-8 violation. For instance:

(gnome-sound-recorder:15672): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()

This is because the combobox is filled with data that it is not in UTF-8.  This data is not translatable in gnome-media.  So, it depends of an external program or library and it should be converted from locale to UTF-8.

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2007-09-06 20:08:21 UTC 
I believe this is either GStreamer or alsa giving it those names, so reassigning to GStreamer, so it pushes UTF-8 data to us.
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2008-01-10 16:37:53 UTC 
Hmm, this works fine for me (with gst-plugins-base + gnome-sound-recorder from CVS and LANG=es_ES.UTF-8). I wonder where the non-UTF8 comes from, maybe we're getting ISO-8859-1 or so from alsa somehow?

Could you do:

 $ export GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1
 $ GST_DEBUG=*:5 gnome-sound-recorder 2>dbg.log
 $ gzip dbg.log

and attach dbg.log.gz?
