- Improve PulseAudio latency handling of monitors.
- Add a separate checkbox to enable timestamps.
- Provide a default file name, so now all options are set to a sensible
default value.

(1 kbit/s = 1000 bit/s).
- Minor bugfixes.

48 kHz.

-------------
- Added support for latest FFmpeg/libav.
- Make relaxed GLInject permissions actually work.
- The backend now supports fragmented recording, but there is no GUI for

SimpleScreenRecorder is a Linux program that I've created to record
programs and games. There were already a few programs that could do
this, but I wasn't 100% happy with any of them, so I created my own.
My original goal was to create a program that was just really simple
to use, but as I was writing it I started adding more and more
features, and the result is actually a pretty powerful program. It's
'simple' in the sense that it's easier to use than ffmpeg/avconv or
VLC, because it has a straightforward user interface.
