Package: recordmydesktop Version: 0.3.8.1+svn602-1 Severity: important I tried using gtk-recordmydesktop to record a session with sound (checked the sound box in the GUI), but was told that recordmydesktop segfaulted. When I test on the command line, I get the same error. This is after I modified the default device from DEFAULT to pulse, to try to use the pulseaudio sound system as described on <URL: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RecordMyDesktop#No_sound_with_PulseAudio >.
Is it possible to record sound when using pulseaudio on Debian? Is there some other way to get audio recording working? Perhaps recordmydesktop should be changed to report an error instead of segfaulting? This is the output from valgrind. % valgrind recordmydesktop -o /tmp/out.ogv --fps 25 --channels 1 --freq 22050 --device pulse --v_quality 63 --s_quality 10 --workdir /tmp ==14123== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==14123== Copyright (C) 2002-2013, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==14123== Using Valgrind-3.10.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==14123== Command: recordmydesktop -o /tmp/out.ogv --fps 25 --channels 1 --freq 22050 --device pulse --v_quality 63 --s_quality 10 --workdir /tmp ==14123== Initial recording window is set to: X:0 Y:0 Width:1366 Height:768 Adjusted recording window is set to: X:6 Y:0 Width:1354 Height:768 Your window manager appears to be KWin Detected compositing window manager.
