Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Help!! - ALSA crashes my Gnomemeeting

[Damien Sandras <dsandras seconix com>]

You are not the only one to mention kernel crashes using GnomeMeeting
under Redhat 8.0.
System crashing means a driver bug. As me, and many other people who are
using ALSA have no problem, it would indicate a Redhat 8.00 bug.
Did you have system crashing when using GnomeMeeting before using ALSA?
Did you compile ALSA yourself?
