Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-media
It took time to figure out what was happening here: gnome-sound- recorder, usually after a first recording, mutes the capture input on my snd-hda-intel soundcard. I didn't notice it at first, however this cause the program to deadlock if one tries to record, and you have to kill the app. However, if you unmute the capture input using a mixer program, gnome-sound-recorder "unlocks" and starts recording. Don't know if this is "almost" normal behavior but something mus be broken. I don't understand why, but sometimes it will mute the capture input by itself on first startup, resulting in the program to appear "just broken", while it is not, unmuting the audio in fact results in correct recording. This may be related to my soundcard, if you need more info just ask. Backtrace is as follows: Thread 4 (Thread -1269314656 (LWP 6096)): #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb736c816 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 #2 0xb7eb4b38 in gst_system_clock_obtain () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #3 0xb73d438f in g_thread_create_full () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0xb7369504 in start_thread () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 #5 0xb72fd51e in clone () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 Thread 3 (Thread -1286980704 (LWP 6112)): #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb736c816 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 #2 0xb7eb4b38 in gst_system_clock_obtain () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 #3 0xb73d438f in g_thread_create_full () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0xb7369504 in start_thread () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 #5 0xb72fd51e in clone () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 Thread 2 (Thread -1278588000 (LWP 6115)): #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb72f3803 in poll () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xb6f81cb8 in snd_pcm_wait_nocheck () from /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 #3 0xb6f81e99 in snd_pcm_wait () from /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 #4 0xb6f81fbb in snd_pcm_read_areas () from /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 #5 0xb6f8db18 in snd_pcm_mmap_readi () from /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 #6 0xb6f7c623 in snd_pcm_readi () from /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 #7 0xb45d0e4e in ??
