[Ekiga-list] OSS plugin of /usr/ports/devel/pwlib in FreeBSD

[Matthias Apitz <guru Sisis de>]

Hello,

The art of pick-up the filename of the audio device conflicts with other
applications of the desktop using the (virtual) audio channels; the
filename should just be "/dev/dsp0" for FreeBSD and the rest is handled
via the devfs(5) file system; a patch like the below works for me fine
and Ekiga plays sound parallel to the apps of KDE.
