From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: Problem 1: recording doesn't work Gnome-sound-recorder stops recording about 1 second after I hit the "Record" button. If I then hit the "Play" button, it stops after about 1 second. If try to save a file I have "recorded", nothing gets written to the disk. There are no error/warning dialogs/pop-ups. If I start gnome-sound-recorder from an xterm, instead of the menu, then I see this message: "Audio File Library: could not open file '/tmp/untitled.wav' [error 3]" Problem 2: playing doesn't work Gnome-sound-recorder doesn't play sound files I record with another program. If I open a pre-recorded file in gnome-sound-recorder and hit the "Play" button, I get no sound. I get these error messages if I run gnome-sound-recorder from an xterm (no error/warning dialogs/popups if I start from the menu) and try playing sounds (first message when I open the file, second message when I hit "Play"): "Audio File Library: warning: opening file for read access: ignoring file setup with non-raw file format [error 23]" "Audio File Library: warning: opening file for read access: ignoring file setup with non-raw file format [error 23]" This is what "file" says about the file I tried to open and play in gnome-sound-recorder: [grover@slick grover]$ file record000.wav "record000.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start gnome-sound-recorder 2. press the "Record" button 3. press the "Play" button, try to save, or do anything useful Actual Results: nada Expected Results: Some sounds should get recorded; I should be able to save those sounds in a file; I should be able to play sounds from a file. Additional info: This is not a general sound configuration error or a hardware problem. I can record sounds using the kde sound-recording utility and also using "record" from the command line. I first noticed this bug under the limbo-2 beta (not sure if it was present in limbo-1). It persists under the null (7.3.94) beta.
should probably at least remove it from menus, if it can't be convinced to work.
Installing gnome-media-2.0.0-8.i386.rpm fixed this problem.
Ok, resolving as 'currentrelease' since we shipped gnome-media-2.0.0-9.
