Comment:
The same here on Ubuntu Jaunty. Especially Ekiga and gnome-sound-recorder
are completely unusable (I'd like to ditch Skype, thanks)!
However, I can record something using directly:
gst-launch pulsesrc ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! filesink location="me.oga"
It's passably clear (low quality microphone, anyway). The strange thing
is, sometimes it does record me correctly, sometimes (especially if it's
the first time you run this command) it gives me a lot of errors like:
WARNING: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstPulseSrc:pulsesrc0: Can't
record audio at an adequate rate
Additional debug info:
gstbaseaudiosrc.c(805): gst_base_audio_src_create ():
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstPulseSrc:pulsesrc0:
dropped 2205 samples
After 8-10 minutes of recording it hangs, though.
