Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] GM 0.96 complains about audio devices and doesn't start

[Fesselet Nicolas <nicolas fesselet wanadoo fr>]

Thanks for this quick answer. I modprobed snd-pcm-oss and snd-seq-oss 
which loaded a few dependencies (lsmod lists them now but there they 
have a "unused" state). I still get the same message. I don't have any 
clear understanding of how all those oss or alsa modules work, could you 
help me on this (or redirect me on some good source of information) ?
