** Description changed: + SRU information follows: + + Impact: Users with a default Ubuntu 8.10 install (with + libasound2-plugins installed) who attempt to record audio via ALSA + (rerouted through the PulseAudio pcm plugin) experience erratic + recording behaviour and, possibly, an application crash. + + Resolution: The capture stream returns null, so it needs to be tested + before being used. Upstream alsa-plugins 1.0.18 contains the fix + (http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa- + plugins.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=47458ae7de308cb347ba634a445b3cec8589a20c). + + Tested SRU patch reference: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18935639/alsa- + plugins_1.0.17-0ubuntu4_1.0.17-0ubuntu5~ppa1.diff.gz (A separate SRU + patch will be attached.) + + TEST CASE: Boot into a default Ubuntu 8.10 install (e.g., desktop + image), and attempt to use Applications> Sound & Video> Sound Recorder> + Record to record audio. Note the erratic recording behaviour and/or + time representation. + + Regression potential: No regressions have been identified in production. + Currently, recording from ALSA via the PulseAudio pcm plugin rerouting + is broken, so the situation "can only improve". + + + Background information follows: + Ubuntu 8.10 desktop beta "Sound recorder" in 8.10 beta < the specific steps or actions I took that caused you to encounter the problem>: pushing the record button in "Sound recorder" <the behavior I expected>: When recording sound the elapsed time flows following normal time in secs and minutes. <the behavior you actually encountered> After pushing the record button in "Sound recorder" the time counter (seconds and minutes) starts too fast and erratic.
