Hi again,
I've tried this but I can't get it to work.
In the Pulseaudio volume control I set the monitor as the default input source.
But nothing is being recorded. May I try something else instead?
Maybe someone can confirm if this is broken or not?
Don't know what version of Pulseaudio that comes with Ubuntu Hardy.
Best regards and thanks,
Christian
