Bug#379549: gnome-media: gnome-sound-recorder doesn't capture input

[Ranjan Grover]

Package: gnome-media
Version: 2.14.2-1
Severity: important


gnome-sound-recorder can't get microphone input. On the terminal I get
an error message of the type, (gnome-sound-recorder:14605):
GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_factory_get_klass: assertion
`GST_IS_ELEMENT_FACTORY (factory)' failed. This error message doesn't
appear as soon as I press record, but appears as soon as I press play.
The application fails to record, and the progress bar goes to the end
without reproducing the sound. This error affects all applications
that require sound input like ekiga, gnomemeeting, skype, etc.
