Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-media
When I run gnome-sound-recorder, there's a GUI element labelled "Record
from input" and a drop-down that displays a single option "Capture".
The Gnome volume control indicates that I have two sound input sources;
one "Capture: Monitor of Intel ICH6 - Intel ICH6 (PulseAudio Mixer)"
(which I assume records whatever is being played) and another "Capture:
Intel ICH6 - Intel ICH6 (PulseAudio Mixer)" (which I assume would record
from a mic plugged into the mic in socket)
So, it's surprising that I can't select these options in gnome-sound-
recorder.
What's worse is that if I plug in a USB headset with speakers and a mic
(Plantronics, not sure of the model #), then the volume control applet
shows two additional capture sources; "Capture: Monitor of Plantronics
Headset - USB Audio (PulseAudio Mixer)" and also "Capture: Plantronics
Headset - USB Audio (PulseAudio Mixer)"
Again, if I restart gnome-sound-recorder after plugging in this USB
headset, and seeing the new sources in the volume control applet, then
gnome-sound-recorder still won't show anything but "Capture" in the
"Record from input" list.
Needless to say, this means that I can't record any audio (since either
the option "Capture" is simply invalid, or perhaps because the default
is the laptop built-in mic, but my laptop doesn't actually have a mic)
