Hi,

I did a test using a fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.10 (with virtualbox)
and my own packages ( https://launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive/ppa ).

The results are:
I can register to ekiga.NET and place a call to 500 ekiga net with audio
and video.
The user is *not* part of any groups like audio/video/voice. Thus, AFAIK
this issue is not relevent using a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 installation.

Still, in my own setup (ubuntu 9.10, but upgraded from version to
version since a long time now) my user is part of the groups audio and
video. I do not remember if I did this and why...

Thus, maybe this issue is maybe the result of an old behavior in Ubuntu
(and maybe Debian).

Could you please tell us what are the distros you are using and when you
installed it (using which version)?

Best regards,
Yannick
