[Ekiga-list] Exchanging video device through line command or config file.

[Antonio Carlos Ribeiro Nogueira]

Dear Philippe, it works, but only if I am not connected with another 
person. And I would like to change the device while I am connected to 
show him outside of my home... I have another cam installed outside. So 
I guess I should to disconnect with the person and then to connect 
again. But I don't know what string, int, or other key I should set and 
what values to use for it.
Another problem is happening ist that, when I disconnect here, it is not 
disconnecting there. This happen when I left ekiga in automatic answer.
Well, if you may help me again I thnaks in advantage.
Antonio Carlos.
