Installing ubuntu 9.1 on my machine.
I will try using linux to develop as I think it will be less confusing
to develop using NDK.

Hehe: I was thinking about trying to get an answer from someone from

Won´t anyone who is actually using AudioRecord with success show up
and tell us what we are doing wrong? :(
