Public bug reported:
$ avconv -f pulse -i default test.wav avconv version 0.8.4-4:0.8.4-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the Libav developers built on Nov 6 2012 16:51:33 with gcc 4.6.3 Unknown input format: 'pulse' $ Pulseaudio is the default sound system in most used distro Ubuntu So - Pulseaudio should be supported. Pulseaudio lets me record from "monitor" source => PA support is necessary to grab desktop with sound without manual switch of source in pulseaudio control panel.
