I just email the gstreamer development list asking for help on this issue as its something I dont understand. Gstreamer is behaving different on latest ubuntu than older versions. I guess its a bug but Im not quite sure.

Thanks for your help

Finally lookslike this bug was fixed in gstreamer so now the recordings should work fine again. Can anyone report it?

Thanks

Its a gstreamer bug. Look for gstreamer updates as it was fixed already.

I am afraid, it doesn't work even with the gstreamer updates. I tested it with Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 development branch and the recordings are as slow and distorted as they were.

I used to have the same problem but I accidently found out that if I first push the record-button and after that choose my preferred station and push the play-button, i get excellent mp3-recordings from all tracks. If i first push the play-button and after that the record-button, it's the same problem again.
I hope this will help a lot of you listeners and help anonbeat to fix this superb program.

Thanks for the comment. Sure will help others but the problem is that there is nothing I can fix as its a gstreamer bug.

Having the same problem on 12.04.1 64bit.

Recording works but the mp3 file is 2 times larger then expected and playing the file is like a slow record.

Using streamripper on the command line works perfect.
