This issue is now hopefully fixed in the source code - if you'd like to test it out the fix should make it's way into the "Nightly build" within the next couple of days. The Nightly build is available here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... tly_Builds

Do the developers ever brows Linux sound related forums? I've no idea what they do in their spare time, but some of the developers use Linux. Google "audacity records half second" returns 2.5 million hits. Is that particularly relevant? "windows bug" returns 69,900,000 hits in 0...
