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

[Art Hunkins]

Testing audio-only Record-90:

Strange results. I tested with the latest 0.92 nightly version 
(Fedora-15-Nightly-20110515.07-i686-Live-soas.iso) that Tom Gilliard found 
to boot. (I was able to successfully create it with Live USB Creator.)

I recorded on two systems, one with camera, one without. Record worked as 
might be expected except for two crucial facts: 1) playback was a silent 
file, with only an opening and closing click/short noise-burst; 2) the files 
are generated in ogg SPEEX format, not ogg vorbis (hence they are of no use 
to me). With the camera system, during audio recording color video was 
animated (unlike below).

One other test: Record-90 on an XO-1.5 upgraded to 0.84. Things generally 
proceded as expected, but with a frozen video picture during recording. 
Unexpectedly, the resultant audio was ogg VORBIS, but with intermittent 
stuttering or pauses.

I verified all audio results by playing them with Audacity on my desktop PC; 
same results as described above.

Strange indeed . . .
