Trying to use ffmpeg to record the screen.  The following command does not
work, but remove '-i pulse' and it works perfectly, but without sound.

ffmpeg -f x11grab  -i pulse -s `xdpyinfo | grep 'dimensions:'| awk '{print
$2}'` -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq out.mpg

[x11grab @ 0x9456b40] Could not open X display.
pulse: Input/output error

Current stable version of Debian.

Have installed the package 'pulseaudio'.  Put in this in /etc/asound.conf:

pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}

pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}

ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

As suggested in this forum.  Any help appreciated.
