audio recorder compatibility with mint maya xfce
I'd like to know whether Audio Recorder is useable with Linux Mint Maya Xfce, since the bundled Sound Recorder app doesn't seem to be able to record anything.

Hello,
This audio-recorder will work fine on Linux Mint Maya Xfce, or any other Linux-distro that uses PulseAudio. You may need to compile it from source code.
A.r has some dependencies that "Maya Xfce" might not have installed by default.
I am thinking about the "libappindicato
It provides application indicators/system tray icons for the Ubuntu's Unity Desktop. GNOME-Shell and XFce might still rely on the older tray-icon system.
But compilation from source will automatically resolve this issue. It will avoid the "libappindicato
Compilation of source is very easy to do.
See: https:/
Please read the INSTALL (and README) files.
But first! Grab the .DEB package from
https:/
and install it, and start audio-recorder from command line. It might well work directly from the box because Linux-Mint is (was?) based on Ubuntu.
Notice: Launchpad is compiling the version 1.3-3 at this very moment. So the latest .deb packages should be ready withing an hour or two.
Audio-recorder needs PulseAudio (pure ALSA is not enough).

Thanks very much for a really comprehensive answer. Since writing I've
distro-hopped, yet again; to Xubuntu, as Mint seemed to be having
trouble with my perfectly good D-Link wireless card; however, as you say
that A-R should work well with any Linux distro using PulseAudio, I
presume that it should find Xubuntu more than acceptable - I'm going to
give it a whirl anyway and thanks for your help.

I simply retrieved the 'precise' deb package, installed it with the debi
tool and tested it immediately on a BBC radio programme streamed from
their site - it worked perfectly! Many thanks, Mike

Very good Michael,
Do not hesitate to contact if you have new questions or improvements on audio-recorder.
Most modern media-players implement also the MPRIS2-standard. MPRIS2 = Media Player Interface, Standard 2.
So they can send messages to the recorder. But most often I simply start/stop the recording by left/right clicking the buttons (as you did).

The user installed A.r for Ubuntu 12.04 (on his Xubuntu system) and it seems to work.
