Comment 29 for bug 92879

I too have the same problem.

System type: Ubuntu Feisty
Architecture: 2.6.20-16-386
Processor: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50

I tried running to program from the shell to be able to see the logs. Upon clicking "Play", no message is generated. However upon clicking "Save" the following is generated:

(gnome-sound-recorder:29771): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_get_file_info_uri_cancellable: assertion `uri != NULL' failed

(gnome-sound-recorder:29771): libgnomevfs-CRITICAL **: gnome_vfs_uri_unref: assertion `uri != NULL' failed

One might want to check the libgnomevfs modules for errors.

Additionally, 'dmesg | tail' gives the following output. Don't know if everyone is getting the same, but I'm trying to provide as much info as possible:

[616631.980000] hda: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01). Trying to recover by ending request.

No recording is being done on the CD.

Incidentally, recording works fine. Upon quitting, the sound-recording prompts to save the file. Upon saving the playback works fine. Additionally, the 'Save As' option also works fine. I think the playback doesn't work because of bad codec integration with the gnome-sound-recorder. Please check and fix this bug ASAP.
