Bug#696575: flumotion: using sound card as audio source causes crash

[Jamie McClelland]

Package: flumotion
Version: 0.10.0-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When running the flumotion assistant, choosing create live stream,
choosing Audio -> Sound card, flumotion crashes with:

Twisted traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted/spread/pb.py", line 565, in expressionReceived
    method(*sexp[1:])

    current.result = callback(current.result, *args, **kw)
  File "/usr/lib/flumotion/python/flumotion/admin/gtk/configurationassistant.py", line 633, in errback
    raise errors.RemoteRunError(functionName, 'Internal error.')
flumotion.common.errors.RemoteRunError: RemoteRunError on method 'getAudioDevices' (Internal error.)

I fixed the problem by installing gstreamer0.10-alsa:amd64.

I'm not sure whether flumotion should have a friendlier error or whether this package should be required. Ideally flumotion could support pulseaudio.

Thanks for you work on this package!
