  GStreamer | gst-plugins-good | Ver: 0.10.21
           Summary: Cannot record using alsasrc
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.21
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: patrick.balleux at gmail.com

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Under Ubuntu 8.10, the alsasrc plugin cannot record any sound because too much
data is outputed from it:


{{{
gst-launch alsasrc ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! filesink location=test.wav
}}}


Lots of warnings about too much data and the file size for a few seconds is
really too big.

Compared to:


{{{
gst-launch pulsesrc ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! filesink location=test.wav
}}}


Which is working perfectly.

This test was done under AMD64, but I have another laptop in 32 bits on which I
suspect that I have the same problem since I am unable to record audio from
Flash player also on this one.


Any software or application that must use ALSA to record with the pulseaudio
server won't be able to record any audio.  Pulseaudio must be killed and
settings must be set to ALSA so the software/application will use the ALSA
driver directly.

gstreamer-alsa version : 0.10.21-3
