I am running Ubuntu 21.10 on a Thinkpad X1 Tablet.  I installed linphone with ```sudo apt install linphone```. I tried recording with no success.  I got a desktop notification that the recording was in ```~/linphone/captures``` but the directory was empty.  I enabled logging and in the logs I found
```
2022-02-02 20:05:30:805 [linphone/qt] MESSAGE QT: components/call/CallModel.cpp:244: "Start recording call:" CallModel(0x7f8e2800c420)
2022-02-02 20:05:30:805 [linphone/mediastreamer] ERROR Cannot record in mkv format, not supported in this build.
