I can confirm these steps in Lucid. It would appear selecting the NVidia device would make sense, but it results in this error message. What is odd is that if I set it as 'default' it will then go through the motions of 'recording' but when it's done I get an error and nothing is played back (This issue is reported in other bugs).
I encountered this error attempting to get a valid input device for recording, this was encountered along the way. I fixed it by reinstalling pulseaudio. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319946 Title: sound recorder plug-ins -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
