[Bug 339648] [NEW] recordmydesktop produces "Broken pipe: Overrun occurred" in Kubuntu Jaunty with HDA Intel

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: recordmydesktop

Recording the desktop with recordmydesktop in Kubuntu Jaunty (with KDE
4) with an HP 6730b with HDA Intel sound card produces "overrun
occurred" errors randomly. When they occur, there is a skipping in the
sound recording. Also, in long recordings you notice the audio and video
are not in sync (the audio is faster).

In the attached Ogg Theora video you can notice the 2nd time I say
"testing" there is a skip and right after that the overrun message comes
in the screen. It happens again the 2nd time I say "10", you can't even
hear the word "ten", it's totally cut from the recording.

On my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file, I have:

options snd-hda-intel index=0 probe_mask=3 position_fix=3 model=laptop

Which made it work when I had Ubuntu (with Gnome) 8.10. If I remove this
line, sound doesn't work on the speakers (only in the headphone). At
least the following line has to be in the file, and with that line, the
problem with recordmydesktop is still there:

options snd-hda-intel index=0 probe_mask=3 position_fix=3 model=laptop
