Press Record on toolbar. Now Play is enabled and Stop is disabled ( should be the other way ). After trying another action the application frozens.
What sound card is this? What kernel module? Does recording work in any other application?
soundcard: Creative 128 PCI. I haven't tried other applications, but cat /dev/dsp > test.raw and cat test.raw > /dev/dsp works. I couldn't record with gnome-sound-recorder in gnome 2.0 too, but I hoped gstreamer will fix the problem.

Reopening for tracking.
Sound card: Creative Labs Ensoniq 64 (ES1371), [Audio PCI-97, Rev. 08] PCI card. I know the card is woking. If I connect my portable SW/AM/FM radio from its earphone plug to either 'line-in" or "mic-in", I get sound through my speakers. However, starting "record" the slider *DOESN'T* move, though the application says: " recording".... File Information reports a file size, but when I select "save as" the sound recorder hangs with the mouse hourglass pointer ...OR I get an "untitled.wav file of 0 bytes. I've also tried recording with two different stereo microphones (one from an old recordable Sony Walkman, and the other from a recordable Aiwa portable cassette 'walkman'). Perhaps I need a self-powered microphone? Given that I can hear sounds through my speakers when the recording source is my radio, shouldn't that create / save a sound file?
I can reproduce this too. I'm going to go ahead and consolidate this with bug 100774, the general "gnome-sound-recorder is still busted" bug. This bug was originally opened against RH9 - could people try against the FC2 version, and followup to 100774? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 100774 ***
