Comment 20 for bug 995683

Also having this issue (Linux Mint 14 / Kazam 1.0.6); however, mine isn't core dumping (at least it doesn't say it is in debug mode). It simply will not allow you to save the video when "finish recording" is selected. It just locks up.

I've had crackling sound issues with Pulseaudio and my Realtek ALC898 on-board sound (ASUS Maximus V Gene mobo), so I assume that this is related. Looks like there are known issues with drivers for this card:

As noted by some other users, the issue is intermittent, but I've been able to work around it by waiting for the first Kazam process to crash, and then opening a second Kazam process. When both processes are running, I seem to be able to capture video and sound without an issue. I did run a few test passes and was able to capture 10 recordings in sequence without it crashing (the final video was over 20 minutes long).

Looking forward to a fix for this - Thanks for all the hard work you put into this product :)
