Bug#625460: gnome-media: gnome-sound-recorder refuses to start, complains about gconfaudiosrc

[Francois Gouget]

Package: gnome-media
Version: 2.30.0-1
Severity: important


When I start gnome-sound-recorder I get a message that says:
   Could not create the GStreamer GConf audio recording element.
   Please install the 'gconfelements' plug-in from the 'gst-plugins-good' module.
   Verify that the installation is correct by running
      gst-inspect-0.10 gconfaudiosrc
   and then restart gnome-sound-recorder.


However:
 * There is no Debian package called 'gst-plugins-good'.
 * The gstreamer0.10-plugins-good package is installed.

Other data:
 * Running 'gnome-sound-recorder --gst-debug-level 5' I got:
   0:00:04.749412378 31688      0x1a35090 LOG      GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY gstelementfactory.c:444:gst_element_factory_make: gstelementfactory: make "gconfaudiosrc" "gconfaudiosource"
   0:00:04.749441523 31688      0x1a35090 LOG      GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY gstelementfactory.c:144:gst_element_factory_find: no such element factory "gconfaudiosrc"
   0:00:04.749450223 31688      0x1a35090 INFO     GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY gstelementfactory.c:461:gst_element_factory_make: no such element factory "gconfaudiosrc"

 * 'gst-inspect-0.10 gconfaudiosrc' says:
   No such element or plugin 'gconfaudiosrc'

 * But I do have 'gsettingsaudiosrc'. Not sure if it's related however.

 * gstreamer-properties works fine as far as I can tell and finds my microphone.

 * This happens on both my desktop and my laptop which seems to further rule out a hardware issue.
