Affects: gnome-media (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I have verified this by installed my laptop twice. It is very sure that
sound recording fails sound after the package "gstreamer0.8-plugin" is
installed.

I have a Sony VAIO notebook (should be PCG—R505TS, I'll update the model
number). I fresh install Ubuntu and test the sound recording function by
"gnome-recorder" and gnome's recording volume display. They works at
this moment.

I then install "gstreamer0.8-plugin" with synaptic. Just after that, the
sound recording function fails. "gnome-recorder" fails and gnome's
recording volume display nothing as I shout to the mic. I may however
raise up the volume of mic in gnome's "Volume Control" that I can hear
my shout in the speaker, while I still cannot record my sound.
