Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages My request is for include in KDE a small application to record sounds (at least in KDE extragear), similar to gnome-sound-recorder or the Microsoft Windows sound recorder.
Krecord could fullfill your needs, anyway I'm not sure if it is still developed and ported to KDE4.
*BUMP*
BUMP? I meant "My request is for include in KDE..." KRecord ins't a part of KDE desktop, and it isn't ported to KDE 4. I also know KRec. The apps exists, but they doesn't have official KDE support and for it, the are outdated, right?
Bumping is to make the bug alive again :) Personally, I don't care whether it's Krec, KRecord or a new one. I just want to be able to record my sweet voice using a default app from KDE ;) I think that KDE 4 is the only desktop not providing a simple sound recorder app. Gnome, Mac OS X, Windows,... all of them have one! It's a shame for us.
I understand now. It's like "up" in forums. O.K. Excuse me, I thought it was like "lol".
Please consider a small fronted to record and play sound from soundcard. Had there been a record-playback (library) interface in KDE, many educational applications would benefit from it. At least for debugging the microphone, by recording/playback. Please, can we not have a small sound recording utility, for debugging hardware (microphone) for communication? Doesn't phonon provide such capability?

It baffles me why KDE users who want to record the audio output must use huge mixer programs like KWave or Audacity. I tried using audio-recorder for GNOME which has a nice interface, but the FLAC file it created wouldn't play back in Clementine. KDE users need to have a simple audio recorder like this. Heck, Windows had one in version 3, and maybe even version 2 as well.
Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug.
