Comment 21 for bug 1004761

Recording the audio in Gnomeradio (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) is far too complicated task.

TEST CASE:

1. Try to record audio with gnomeradio function:

OUTPUT THIS ERROR:

(gnomeradio:22694): gnomeradio-WARNING **: GStreamer runtime error: Could not open audio device for recording.

2. Try to record audio with gnomeradio started and gstreamer command line:

$ gst-launch-0.10 osssrc ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! filesink location=record.wav

OUTPUT THIS ERROR:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstOssSrc:osssrc0: Could not open audio device for recording.
Additional debug info:
gstosssrc.c(380): gst_oss_src_open (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstOssSrc:osssrc0:
Unable to open device /dev/dsp for recording: No such file or directory
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

$ gst-launch-0.10 autoaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! filesink location=record.wav

OUTPUT THIS SUCCES:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstAudioSrcClock

I build gnomeradio from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~geoubuntu/ubuntu/precise/gnomeradio/1004761/revision/8 and I tested gnomeradio record function and it's WORK!
Thanks.

The proposed solution in this geoubuntu revision:

The code in "rec_tech.c" should use either "autoaudiosrc" element insted of "osssrc" for the audio source recording.
