[Bug 61211] "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." is a really unhelpful error message

[Chris Wagner]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-media

After fiddling with the volume control application, switching the
managed device and "tracks to be visible" (Edit -> Preferences), gnome-
sound-recorder started giving this error message (the one in the bug
summary).  gnome-sound-recorder opened successfully just before fiddling
around with this.  I eventually managed to get gnome-sound-recorder to
open properly again, after messing with the volume control a little
more, although I'm not at all sure what change I made that caused the
error message to go away.

Anyhow, surely gnome-sound-recorder knows a little more about these
"invalid" settings and can be a little more specific.
