Dear Ubuntu, I have read dozens of pages and postings about the 'sound issues' in Ubuntu since I updated to 8.04. Glad that Skype and streaming audio on Firefox now work. But I need to record that streaming audio; so please fix whatever is needed to get GNOME Sound Recorder to work. And for those of us who have jiggered our config files to get some compromise between ALSA and PulseAudio that works for us, please provide a set of standard config-files and recommended uninstallations that enable all apps to work. Not all apps have to work at the same time, I suppose; but Firefox and Sound Recorder need to work simultaneously, and nothing should disrupt a Skype call in progress. There is plenty of philosophy-talk out there about why Ubu is switching to PA; we don't need more of that. We can Google it to find out the backstory if curious. At this point we need some generic solutions (i.e. does jackd need to be uninstalled?) so we can start hashing out any peculiarities we may have with our respective hardwares. Please create a general fixit HowTo page and link it to Ubuntu's homepage, or title it in a way that is so obvious we can all find it. This is a serious bug, and a known one. I suspect a fix exists, but several weeks of on-and-off searching and I have not found it nor indication that anyone else who has found it or created it. If we have attempted workarounds by installing Jokosher, Audacity, Ardour, and/or GTK-recordMyDesktop (none of which work), please tell us which ones are likely to have persistent incompatibilities and need to be uninstalled.
