[Bug 39119] Sound recorder disables the capture device after a second recording

[Aaron Whitehouse]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-media (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
This sounds rediculous but I am sitting here with alsamixer and sound-
recorder open repeating this over and over.

1) open alsamixer in a terminal window
2) tab so that you are on the capture settings
3) leave the window so that you can see the device named 'capture'. It should be red to show that it is an active capturing source
4) open sound-recorder
5) record a track
6) stop
7) playback the track (this isn't necessary I don't think)
8) hit record - note that the red symbol showing that capture is active has disappeared (if it didn't do it, stop and record again)

I wanted to send you a screen video because it seems so odd, but
couldn't get Istanbul working well enough.

Obviously at this point the mic doesn't work system-wide.
