[LAU] [OT] Screen recording with jack: pain

[Lorenzo Sutton]

Once upon a time I could record fine with (gtk)recordmydesktop selecting 
jack... then jack audio recording seems to be broken (in Ubuntu and now 
in Debian (wheezy)) with funky errors since quite a while.

Then I had hacked a couple of script using ffmpeg with jack support... 
which of course involves compiling ffmpeg with jack enabled (and 
recording is a bit clumsy as you have to manually connect the jack 
client to ffmpeg jack client then cut that boring part from the video etc.)

I was wondering what people's setup for (especially on debian) are, and 
if any simple solution currently exists.
