Bug Description
SRU information follows:
Impact: Users with a default Ubuntu 8.10 install (with libasound2-plugins installed) who attempt to record audio via ALSA (rerouted through the PulseAudio pcm plugin) experience erratic recording behaviour and, possibly, an application crash.
Resolution: The capture stream returns null, so it needs to be tested before being used. Upstream alsa-plugins 1.0.18 contains the fix (http://
Tested SRU patch reference: http://
TEST CASE: Boot into a default Ubuntu 8.10 install (e.g., desktop image), and attempt to use Applications> Sound & Video> Sound Recorder> Record to record audio. Note the erratic recording behaviour and/or time representation.
Regression potential: No regressions have been identified in production. Currently, recording from ALSA via the PulseAudio pcm plugin rerouting is broken, so the situation "can only improve".
Background information follows:
Ubuntu 8.10 desktop beta
"Sound recorder" in 8.10 beta
< the specific steps or actions I took that caused you to encounter the problem>:
pushing the record button in "Sound recorder"
<the behavior I expected>:
When recording sound the elapsed time flows following normal time in secs and minutes.
<the behavior you actually encountered>
After pushing the record button in "Sound recorder" the time counter (seconds and minutes) starts too fast and erratic.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http:// www.chiark. greenend. org.uk/ ~sgtatham/ bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingPr ocedures
We have instructions on debugging some types of problems. http://
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
