I would say that another process is locking the soundcard. If they are
using Ubuntu, there are many bugs. One of them is that ESD is always
locking the soundcard, even when it is told not to lock it at all.
That's one of the numerous bugs in the distribution.

Unfortunately, I have no idea. There is no exclamation mark icon in
Ekiga, and I have never coded something that would display such an
exclamation mark in the status icon. Perhaps they can do a screenshot?
