Record gets confused without a camera present

[martin.langhoff]

On a laptop with a working sound system (that fedora knows how to talk to), but no camera, I

1 - open record
2 - click on the audio tab
3 - press record button - button turns red, counter starts counting
4 - talk into mic
5 - press stop button before counter reaches end

Results:

• Expected: a file appears in the bottom-of-screen panel - Actual result: nothing appears
• Expected : able to record a second file -- actual result: Record hangs, sometimes taking Sugar shell down with it

Our rough diagnosis is that the feature of taking a pic and associating it to the audio file is confusing Record in the absence of a camera.
