Comment 9 for bug 310760

I must be very thick, because I cannot find where to tell gnome-sound-recorder to use the webcam mic for recording instead of the built-in microphone on my laptop. If I go to System > Preferences > Sound, change the Sound Capture device in Audio Conferencing (I presume this is where you go to chose the default GNOME sound capture, right?) for "USB Audio", and then click test, I get an error that says:

    "Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'"

Then, when opening gnome-sound-recorder, I get an error that says:

    "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."

So I cannot test with gnome-sound-recorder :(

Even after I "killall pulseaudio", arecord still give the same error as described in the bug description, "arecord: pcm_read:1347: read error: Input/output error".
