Did that. I experimented with sliding the left chanel all the way
back, and tried to record. No sound. Only some white noice
in the right speaker.
Then I tried with sliding the right chanel all the way back.
Still no sound from recording. White noise from left speaker.
the gnome-sound-recorder has a level meter while recording.
The level meter does not budge.
