OK...So it's not the clarinet sonata, but I thought this was interesting enough to share, anyway, especially given the interesting discussion we had a while back about Sabine Meyer's Poulenc YouTube video. It turns out that there are several videos featuring Poulenc playing his own works on YouTube.
On this first one, he speaks with an interviewer (in French, of course), then performs with vocalist Denise Duval:

Here's another one with Duval:

Here's the flute sonata with Rampal:

Here's Poulenc playing the concerto for two pianos & orchestra (3rd mvt.--other movements are also on YouTube)

And just for good measure, I thought I'd throw in a video that, while not actually featuring Poulenc playing, is worth a listen, since it's an excerpt from the Poulenc piece most closely resembling the clarinet sonata (at least the 1st and 2nd movements, anyway). Anyone seriously wanting to play the clarinet sonata should listen to this piece, too:

Poulenc played his own arrangement of his "La Voix Humaine", (words: Jean Cocteau) with Denise Duval in Fontainebleau during the summer of 1961, or 62. The work, a single character ordeal of a spurned lover, begins with the telephone ringing.
Poulenc himself, whistled for the sound of the telephone. Denise Duval was an incredible singer and FP knew what to do with the piano, save for the sostenuto pedal, upon which his foot rested throughout. (it remains clear in my mind as I write.)
