This is for sure!

nothing against it but that is the problem with layered applications.
No Flames Please. Just a thought.

I managed to find the final device ALSA is trying to use.
I found that my udevd (I think) created some /dev/snd devices with 664
permissions. Particularly pcmC0D0c. I changed it to 666 and ekiga is
sending out audio.

The problem is every time I boot I have to change it manually. I'll search
some udevd docs and see how to fix this. 

I am pretty convinced it is a Slackware 10.2 config thing.
