Add a VU meter and/or a oscilloscope to Sound Recorder

[Fred]

Add a VU meter and a oscilloscope to the Sound Recorder (gnome-sound-recorder).

So that you can see the audio input as a sine wave.

I've added a mockup image to explain the concept.
Excuse me for the crappy mockup.

It should be prettier than that.
And it should be one wave not two.

It would be a good idea, so it is posible to know when the microphone works, and more.

I wonder, if it would be too hard to implement, but it would be really cool, if we could get something like this in the mixer as well. Understanding audio routing is insanely hard with many modern sound cards.

Created a feature request for mixer visuals at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/307797

I'm moving this report to gnome-media because this report doesn't belong to sound-record but gnome-sound-record.

Thank you for your bug report, there is a similar request on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547490

Two years later, still not implemented.
