Comment 17 for bug 339648

Same problem on Lucid 10.04.1, recordmydesktop Version: 0.3.8.1+svn602-1ubuntu1. Kernel version 2.6.32-27-generic-pae.

Sound invariably quits recording partly through the larger recordmydesktop recording. This is very annoying - the recordmydesktop & gtk- variant are both completely unusable. I see this bug is more than a year old now. :-(

I'm not sure what 'confirmed, but undecided' means, but i found the arecord workaround to be successful. Tonight. After many hours lost. At some point, someone needs to debug this. If you are looking for that kind of assistance, please let me know and provide some guidance. Is this device driver? API? User-space, or kernel module? I don't know how to debug this.

Otherwise, I don't see why development should continue on this platform - frankly speaking, if I'd known it was going to cause me this much pain (think: "take 9! XXX tutorial"), I would not have tried to use it...but recordmydesktop has an excellent reputation. It's just broken on Ubuntu, apparently.........

Please let me know if I can help. I have a thinkpad w500 with 4GB of RAM, so resources are not at issue here.
