[Wolf-Dieter Groll]

Package: gnome-sound-recorder
Version: 3.14.0.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Just trying to use it (V. 3.14. from stable).
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Starting the gnome-sound-recorder. The only possible action is to press
"record". No chance to configure.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
An ogg-file with nothing but silence was recorded:
  Clip 1: Ogg data, Vorbis audio, mono, 44100 Hz, ~80000 bps, created by:
Xiph.Org libVorbis I
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
An audio-file containing the sound that could be heard from the speakers while
recording.
