Comment 5 for bug 355846

this happens to me whether or not 'software playthrough' is enabled. also, the same behavior occurs when just monitoring the input. i.e. the monitor will show some activity and then stop responding--freeze.

is it the same bug? can you verify if recording works with software playthrough disabled? because it doesn't for me.

i have audacity 1.3.7-1~intrepid1~8.10prevu1 on ubuntu 8.10 2.6.27-14-generic x86_64

forcing the version back to 1.3.5-2 has gotten rid of the problem, and i am pleased to see that my theme settings from 1.3.7 have persisted!
