Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-media
I need to set Multimedia Systems Selector > Audio > Default Input > (Plugin:=PulseAudio SoundServer) > Device=Unknown in order that Ubuntu will capture sound from my USB web cam's built-in microphone. The name »Unknown« is an unsuitable name for this microphone device. So much more as there are another two »Unknown« devices in the the same drop-down list. '~$ uname -a; Linux T43 2.6.31-11-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 2 11:55:55 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux' gnome-media version 2.28.0-0ubuntu1 I expect to see a meaningful name for the microphone of my USB web cam. Instead I see "Unknown".
