[Ekiga-list] Let's spread Ekiga : volunteers ?

[George Boyd]

I would suggest that you read on Ekiga's site about how to get 2
applications running under alsa at the same time. It doesn't always work
because alsa keeps changing things. One of the biggest problems with
alsa is that it forces the jitter buffer to go wild.

I have my sound in Ekiga to use "Default" for the sound events. My audio
output device is set to use my sound card and the input device to use
the "Default". It works very well here that way. ("Default" meaning the
alsa default device).

It's not a codec problem, it's alsa. If you have a full duplex sound
card you can try and use that directly or try OSS. But the settings that
I described that I'm using works well for me and most every other
computer that I've installed Ekiga on.

On a side note; I had to remove the "custom" alsa.config and let alsa
set it back up using Fedora's Sound Card Detection program after the
last update of alsa.
