@ grinch Ubuntu includes the package because its architecture is based on Debian's; and what Debian is using right now is this package, till they upgrade it.
And the reason why this bug isn't corrected is plainly because the triaging work-flow isn't agile enough right now for handling errors at the cadence Ubuntu releases have. Canonical took this decision probably because it would be difficult to create a constant flow of improvement with software being stabilized for a long time. So they relied that Ubuntu would be able to fix problems in the future in shorter periods of time, after some continuous improvement in bug management processes and getting more people interested in using the operating system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-media in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1157654 Title: Sound recorder does not work Status in GNOME Media Utilities: Expired Status in “gnome-media” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-media” package in Debian: New Bug description: Sound recorder 3.4 does not work. - Does not show any activity under "Level". - Nothing happens after clicking the record button, choosing record from the menu or after pressing Ctrl+R. - Recording works in other applications. - Input tab under sound settings shows activity on input.
