[Sugar-devel] Record v90 (was: v89)

[Art Hunkins]

I made an error is reporting on Record v90 (and the 0.92 nightly version 
cited below).

With an appropriate mike, at least one of my systems (the one with camera - 
a Go2PC) records - and without stutter or silent interruptions. The 
remaining problem is that the output is ogg SPEEX. Hopefully this can be 
corrected.
