Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam Broadcast does now work on Linux in beta and it works so far, but it never records audio. I've already set to record audio from all sources. When looking in pavucontrol there is no record sink, so it doesn't even start to record anything.

Here's the log:

Notice the 0Hz audio bitrate.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Enable broadcasting
  2. start a game
  3. let someone join the stream

I have the exact same experience. Video seems to work fine, but there is no audio.

Dealing with the same issue, along with 2 other friends that have tried it.

Notice the 0Hz audio bitrate.

It's sampling rate, not bitrate. The latter is in b/s (bits per second).

Nothing extracted yet.
