Re: [Ekiga-list] Bad sound quality because of missing low passfilter

[Christian Jaeger <chrjae gmail com>]

Another note for those who want to try it:

It's imperative that OSS4's vmix0-src is set to Fast (not High). This
is said to be the resampling quality, and of course you'd be tempted
to set it to High, as I did after everything worked. Can't hurt you
think, on a 2.5 Ghz dual core, and my testing showed no CPU load
difference; wrong, it broke ringing in Ekiga. It would just be silent,
quitting Ekiga at that point makes it close the windows but hang (not
fully exit), hitting ctl-c then makes a short duration (~0.1 seconds)
of the ring tone played before ekiga is gone. Set back to "Fast"
(which had plenty enough quality improvement over ALSA already, I
couldn't hear a difference with High), and it works again. Same thing
happens when playing the "Sound for incoming calls" from the
preferences dialog, although there the "Ring tone" would actually play
in either case (maybe the duration of the sound makes the
difference?).

I'll try playing with cpufreq, suspend and on battery power another time :~S

Christian.
