Changing GNOMEVER2.0 keyword to GNOMEVER2.2 and setting version->2.2.x. Moving to product->gnome-media and component->gnome-sound-recorder. Also, setting severity->critical & priority->high (it's a crasher). Can you get us a stack trace? (See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for information on how to do so)
Ooops, I forgot to select "Reassign bug to owner of selected component". Doing that now...
The cause is in gnome-mime-data which tells nautilus to run gnome-sound-recorder with the -p option. The -p option no longer exists and GStreamer aborts when it finds an option that doesn't exist (which is a bug in GStreamer)
g-s-r should have a dummy option for compatibility reasons, and GStreamer shouldn't crash when given an option it doesn't know about. I won't fix in gnome-mime-data, it would only be a work-around.
Now that I'm re-fixing GSR, I might just as well take this one. Bastien, you should still apply the patch, even if I add a -p dummy option. Why keep the -p?
