recording not working properly

[iSmith]

I am using gnome-sound-recorder and it is not working properly. It apparently thinks that seconds are minutes, and after recording for 33 seconds turns out as a 33 minute recording. Apparently the problem is system-wide and I am pretty sure it is a ALSA problem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. To help us determine what package this issue affects can you please elaborate on why you believe it is an ALSA problem.
Are you able to record properly using another recording program?
Are you using pulseaudio?
Can you attach the output of the following script? http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh
We also need to know your operating system version and audio hardware.
Thanks for your patience.

When i tested the the sound recording using ALSA (the only one that works) in the sound settings, it froze, which suggests the same problem as the sound recorder.

I have a Conexant Audio on ATI IXP on a HP Pavillion zv6000.
I started up the 8.10RC Live CD and tested out sound recording.

Problem 1:
Every real second of recording resulted in approximately 30 seconds (definitely not a whole minute though) of recorded audio. In about a minute, I had a 22 minute audio file.

Problem 2:
I did File->New to create a new recording project. It then created a new window with the title <Untitled - 4> while the previous window had been simply <Untitled>. The default file listed on the bottom was now Untitled (3) whilst the previous was just Untitled. I am not sure where it got '4' or '3' from, let alone how it was getting different numbers on default for the same project. Just default numbers, a minor bug, but still.

Problem 3:
I decided to record again. This time it only got up to 3 minutes and 30 seconds (actually about 6 real seconds) before seemingly pausing itself and killing the gnome panels. Now I just had a bare desktop wallpaper with the recording app above it. A few seconds later, the entire system froze and I couldn't move my mouse or reboot X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace).

Are you able to record properly using another recording program? No.
Are you using pulseaudio? No. In sound settings, it doesn't have (Pulseaudio) after my device.
Can you attach the output of the following script? http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh This script isn't working. /bin/bash^M is an invalid interpreter and when I run it in bash i just get line errors.
