Gnome-sound-recorder does not work on my system either, Bob.  Unlike 
your situation, though, starting gnome-sound-recorder from a command 
line launches the application with no error messages.  The gui interface 
appears and will display messages indicating it is recording but the 
slide progress indicator does not move and there is no sound on playback.

I have a FC2 system with mobo sound chips linux detects as 
VT8233/A8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller and use the ALSA snd-via82xx 
driver.  Gnome volume control displays slider controls in two tabs - one 
for Via [alsa mixer] and one for Realtek ALC650E [OSS mixer]  Numerous 
slider and mute settings have been explored without success.

I invite others to share their sound recorder experience(s).
